Without a warning, the fog rolls back again An old storm surges through my blood and skin It’s no light tension, no butterflies in the air Just a heavy shadow, a dark and silent stare Feels like I’m stripped of every layer I wear Exposed to the room, completely bare Even alone, these walls don’t feel right Trapped in the beam of an unseen spotlight I've known this shadow since I was just a child A feeling of being worthless, lost, and wild Like there’s no place inside where I can hide! There are bats inside my belly! And they flutter through the night! Not a gentle tremble, but a dark and heavy force! Chills across my skin, I make myself small Wondering why they have to return after all! No matter what I think, no matter what I say I just want to get out of my body today No protection left, the ground gives way below When will this dark swarm finally let go? There are bats inside my belly! And they flutter through the night! Not a gentle tremble, but a dark and heavy force! Chills across my skin, I make myself small Wondering why they have to return after all! Bats in the night... Bats in my belly... I want out of my skin. Nowhere is safe... No butterflies within.
