[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] She was like a butterfly Flying perpendicular Through trails of stars Across the sky And she was sick of me The way I talked Yeah, I was too I fucked that up Though I didn’t mean to, I was somewhere else I lied and said I was there I was caught up All in myself, And by the time I realized What had happened It was too late To change anything So I look up now I don’t see her I just see a sky that’s black Filled with nothing… [Instrumental Bridge] (Kill That Butterfly!) [Verse 2] Sometimes things break You try to hold it together But it just hits that point And it feels like something snaps And before you know it Your hands are moving And before you feel it You grip tighter And then it happens And you wish you’d wake up… Yeah, I’m scum You think I didn’t know? I took the one innocent thing Left in this horrible world And broke it… She was so beautiful… She really was, Until I went, And snipped her wings… [Instrumental Bridge] (Kill That Butterfly!) [Bridge] You know you can’t save me No uh you can’t no no Haha, yeah it hurt But it had to be done No, no, uh no way Did I even think Haha, yeah no I didn’t, I’ll leave that to Je-je-jesus Uh huh oh yeah haha… That’s his responsibility! [Instrumental Bridge] (Kill That Butterfly!) [Verse 3] It was the day of our wedding It was white You know that’s what I remember That color white Mixing in with blue The color of her hair That gorgeous bouquet It was that day, I don’t know… I guess I was happy, No, I was… I was so happy that when we got home I stabbed her back and forced her down And bit her neck so hard That blood was raining Down on those pure sun rays Of eternal happiness That adorned her wedding dress And it was like Michelangelo Descended from Heaven To paint the most tragically Beautiful depiction of God’s grace That I’ve ever seen… I was so angry, I don’t even know, Maybe it was how innocent And divinely right she looked Just in that singular moment When we got home And she turned back And smiled… [Instrumental Bridge] (Kill That Butterfly!) [Outro] God above Forgive my sins I know you won’t I know you can’t Burn my soul In the cleansing flames Make it known What I’ve done If you won’t I’ll meet you now With the taste Of iron in my mouth… (Kill That Butterfly!) (Kill That Butterfly!) (Kill That Butterfly!) (Kill That Butterfly!) [Instrumental Fade Out]
