Lyrics:
If the words I’ve spoken tore you apart
I would speak them backwards but where would we start
Again
Again
If holding on to something gives you control
Just squeeze a little harder and don’t let it go
Again
Again
And when you spread your wings
And the feeling the freedom brings
Gently you whisper goodbye
You’re the Blackest Butterfly
Every hole I puncture lets in the air
The light that pierces through them forces the glare
Again
Again
This constant struggle, a reason for sleep
A stark realization, I know I can’t keep you
Again
Again
And when the world is still
The bottom of a hill
Gently you whisper goodbye
You’re the Blackest Butterfly
