Butterfly Bulletholes

Are you the moonlight that shines onto my shelf?

I dreamt I held me, but I was someone else

You're in my eyes now, you're clouding up my sight

You were the danger, you were the breath of life

We were just children when I was twenty two

I thought I loved me enough for even you

I drank your poison with holy water pride

I was in danger disguised as cosmic light

Said there's no reason

To go on for just another day

Would you now tell me

Everything is finally okay?

'Cause there's butterfly bulletholes

On the inside of my skull

Dying was your final cry

'Cause living was a pretty lie

Everything is still the same

The flowers look at me the same way

But I'm holding on for my dear life

Confusing bullets for butterflies

Now you're the omen, but you're the devil too

Why can I fear them but I can't fear you?

And what is it like within the world of night?

I wanna know how to live without a fear of life

'Cause there's no reason

To hold onto you another day

'Cause something tells me

Everything is finally okay

With these butterfly bulletholes

On the inside of my skull

Living was too hard to try

So you'd rather close your eyes and die

I don't think that I'm the same

Even though it looks that way

'Cause I'm holding on for my dear life

Confusing bullets for butterflies
