Butterfly Knife

[Verse] In the corner garden with the pink flowers You're a little too sweet for me Too close to the bird feeders Where the bears like to eat You seem a little too good For this world And when they take you from me I'll be the one to usher you up [Pre-Chorus] I'll tell myself that it's what you wanted But it never was-- Never was [Chorus] A knife in the hands of a boy I'm the same as the man I despise I was always meant to destroy Cut you open like a butterfly It's not right But it's not wrong Bury him deep A knife in the hands of a boy I'm the same as the man I despise I was always meant to destroy Cut you open like a butterfly Stained filament It's not right But it's not wrong Bury him deep [Verse 2] There were petals on the floor In the house when I got home You must've crawled through the window You were so scared and alone So I took you in my arms And you gave me one last breath Then you stopped beating your wings And I cried--- Oh I fucking cried [Pre-Chorus] And I cried and cried But that's what you wanted My monarch Chorus] A knife in the hands of a boy I'm the same as the man I despise I was always meant to destroy Cut you open like a butterfly It's not right But it's not wrong Bury him deep A knife in the hands of a boy I'm the same as the man I despise I was always meant to destroy Cut you open like a butterfly Stained filament It's not right But it's not wrong Bury him deep [Bridge] Loss of innocence Loss of myself Lost my common sense Where did that boy go Where did I go that day
