Lyrics

Dead Butterflies

I wanna bother god I wanna feel the ground beneath my feet But I've got a smile full of broken teeth Goodbye, all the doves have flown away I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself I know it's not enough Why does defeat always taste so bittersweet? I just wanna live and die in peace The flower that never blossoms is quickly forgotten It must be gold if it's glistenin' I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself Goodbye, all the doves have flown away I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself Fly high 'cause the ravens are here to stay I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butter- Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies The flower that never blossoms is quickly forgotten It must be gold if it's glistenin' I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself Goodbye, all the doves have flown away I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies Fly high 'cause the ravens are here to stay I must've lost myself, lost myself, lost myself in a cloud of Dead butterflies, dead butterflies, dead butterflies
