Butterfly (On A Razorblade)
(Parsons, Wood, Sawyer)

Insane
On a head trip
Come and see the fire in my eyes
The white collars
Worst nightmare
Im in your head tonight

And Im a loose
A loose cannon
Can you quell my appetite?
Shark eyes in a wirlwind
A hammer to your window pane

Or a little child so cold and scared?
A butterfly on a razorblade?
So far away from those who care
A butterfly on a razorblade

In control
Out of focus
The voice of truth
Or an empty threat
One strike but
Count the shockwaves
The multitude of hollow lies

And I can change
My direction
Can you change my state of mind
Shark eyes in a wirlwind
A hammer to your window pane

Or a little child so cold and scared?
A butterfly on a razorblade?
So far away from those who care
A butterfly on a razorblade

Can't you fly away?

You're a stranger so sublime
Yet so far away from what is real
An unnecessary wonder
Your mercurial designs
Sometimes broken and unkind
Show the world you care for no one
So is your life just a memory?
Or is it all a dream?
You've confused what's real
With what could have been
To make your lies complete
Now there's so much blood
On your storybook
Was it split in vain?
Would you make amends?
Are you happy now?
Would you keep it all the same?
Is this your time to fade away?
Can you just keep moving on?

Or will you fade away?…
