Butterflies
Lead me with your lovely lies
With lonely lips and heavy hips I've tried
But I'll always lose to butterflies
But I don't mind
I'm not wasting my time
And though I won't be fine
I'll find a way in
I'll find a way in
Butterflies
Lead me with your lovely lies
With open seams and scattered dreams I've tried
Bye bye bye

Don't stop
Pass by
We didn’t know that we’d survive
A simple start
I wasn't expecting to fly
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
It's no
But don’t go
Everyone’s getting old so quickly, what are we gonna do with this now
I’m so tired
I wasn’t thinking about kids and the future
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
Ohhh
Don’t stop the clock
Don’t mention the time
Eyes front and we’ll all be fine
Some sorry state
You left me in
Tearstained, scuffed and dazzling
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself

Stranger. Lover.
Suck air and water
Minefields and murder
His breath I long for
I'm in the wrong place, my stomach is sick
As I flounder around trying not to lose sight of it
Nothing feels right – he's too far away
Let the planets collide cos there's no point in fighting them now
Ice flows through my veins
Hot love will soothe me
Steep hills and slate skies
My eyes in your eyes
I'm in the wrong place, my stomach is sick
As I flounder around trying not to lose sight of it
Nothing feels right – he's too far away
Let the planets collide cos there's no point in fighting them now
My eyes in your eyes
I'm in the wrong place, my stomach is sick
As I flounder around trying not to lose sight of it
Nothing feels right – he's too far away
Let the planets collide cos there's no point in fighting them...

In this boat I look for signs of morning
In these sails a bond I cannot keep
In this heart I hear a siren calling
Set to sea I turn my salty cheek
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
In these arms I hope for sweet surrender
In these veins I hunt for poetry
In this vessel floating to the future
Weeping weather fills the cold grey sea
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound
Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow
In this boat is all we ever needed
In this storm I know we will not drown
In this battleship far from homeland
Rock this body
I'll ride the wave back down
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound
Confusion go - protect my home
On land or sea they won't take me
Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow
You are an anchor
I am a wave

Sometimes I’m only talking to myself
Yeah I know you’re getting worried for my health
Leave it
I’m just a solitary soul
Sick of these pleasantries
All right
You can watch as I dissolve
But when I wake
I want you here to have to hold
You’re so tired of these
Drama queen tendencies
So I face my pretty tragedies
I contrive, survive
Little battles in my mind
Yeah I make my exit strategy
I deny, I don't try, I don't try
You say there’s nothing to fight
Ohoh but sometimes
All I can do is scream fire! fire! fire!
Squealing and wolfbiting
I’m tearing skin got to push all the good back in
And so I face my pretty tragedies
I contrive, survive
Little battles in my mind
Yeah I make my exit strategy
I deny, I don't try, I don't try
Blood and treasure
I love, I lose
Delivering
The blackest bruise
Saving face
Let’s beat retreat
Withdrawal doesn’t mean defeat
