Has there ever been a good time Sometimes there was nothing much to say Open me up and look on the inside Take the pieces I don’t need Stitch me back with golden needles So it catches the sunlight when I turn I will forever be reminded These golden scars will never fade Butterflies with razor blade wings Fly gracefully inside of me Do you ever swim in your sleep? You’re always close to being drowned Lie on the bed in a sea of trouble Waiting for your net to pick me up But there are no boats upon this ocean The waves just toss them all away I have to wait for calmer weather Or pray I float towards the shore I’ve taken all the mirrors down All but the one beside the door As I leave I check my refection Just to be sure to put on a show Butterflies with razor blade wings Fly gracefully inside of me

Graceful Butterfly
Has there ever been a good time Sometimes there was nothing much to say Open me up and look on the inside Take the pieces I don’t need Stitch me back with golden needles So it catches the sunlight when I turn I will forever be reminded These golden scars will never fade Butterflies with razor blade wings Fly gracefully inside of me Do you ever swim in your sleep? You’re always close to being drowned Lie on the bed in a sea of trouble Waiting for your net to pick me up But there are no boats upon this ocean The waves just toss them all away I have to wait for calmer weather Or pray I float towards the shore I’ve taken all the mirrors down All but the one beside the door As I leave I check my refection Just to be sure to put on a show Butterflies with razor blade wings Fly gracefully inside of me
