Swallowing Butterflies Alive (Real Version) Lyrics

no one else knows what you mean
when you say you feel like cupids missing jealousy
blue lips kissing l.s.d.
tulip pedals manufactured all so fragile
i'll go fracture my chest and gently dangle it's organ by a tassel
screaming i'm on fire, girl, your love is gasoline

crossing my heart
hoping to cry
sticking a needle into my eye, and tattoo tears

i can't even hear myself think
pull my lip over your head - listen to yourself then you can talk
sing teary music to your eardrums
can you hear me? we're persuaded by fearsome times

bending over backwards, trying to dance
toes tap, fingers snap, crack your back and break your neck
disconnect your spine from the mind and hip bones
sweat breaking as eyelids zip down
creepy little catepillars have cocooned deep under my abdomen
birthing butterflies in stomachs at bad moments

bridge & chorus

swallowing butterflies alive (2x)

taciturn with an acid burn trace
my ears are burning for the cold things you've yet to say
