The Butterfly Song

Here I am, surrounded by alcohol,

Razor blades and Lexapro pills;

Blood is swimming out of my skin,

Misery Severity is back, but really ill.

Faces are seen right in front of me,

Telling me to get the fuck out;

I don’t even know where to go,

I don’t even know what the hate is all about.

They say, I’m a freak, the whore;

They say, I’m nothing but the attention seeker;

They tell me to go die and stay in Hell,

If it’s true, then I’ll take their advice and go deeper

All the way to the concrete ground

Where I can go under and drown and drown.

I hate being around other people,

All I want is to be left alone

Where I can be myself outside of home.

I don’t want to turn back around,

I just want to change and fly away

But… I don’t even know how.

This is where I lay and cry on the couch,

Drinking nothing but glasses of wine,

My head is paralyzed; the predators are attacking me,

I don’t know how to stop them from making me blind.

Voices are heard right next to me,

Screaming at me to fuck off, bitch;

I don’t even know what they mean,

I don’t even know why they bury me inside the ditch.

They say, I’m the bitch, the slut,

They say, I’m nothing but the attention seeker;

They tell me to go die in Hell and stay there,

If it’s true, then I’ll take their advice and go deeper

All the way to the underwater ground

Where I can suffocate as I drown and drown.

I hate being around other people,

All I want is to be left alone

Where I can be myself outside of home.

I don’t want to turn back around.

I just want to change and fly away

But… I don’t even know how.

Help me, I’m trapped in my chrysalis,

I can’t reach to my metamorphosis.

I can’t even breathe, I can’t leave,

Help me get out of here

Before I drown in the frozen beer.

I hate being around other people,

All I want is to be left alone

Where I can be myself outside of home.

I don’t want to turn back around.

I just want to change and fly away

But… I don’t even know how.
