The Butterfly Jar Lyrics

It's been three months since Alexander died

Outside the day is gray

I can't keep the butterflies from flying away

So entrapped in a jar they now stay

Everything is there, there's just something in the way

Oh oh oh oh

And I've become

The antagonist to

My own story

And I've become

The antagonist to

My own story

No more butterflies in my stomach

No more butterflies in my brain

And it's foggy

Out here

I can't tell what's reality

Hey how are you

Are you real?

They whisper to me

No amount of makeup

Can makeup for the ugliness inside

No amount of makeup

Can makeup for the ugliness outside

No amount of makeup

Can makeup for the ugliness inside of you

No amount of makeup

Can makeup for the nature of your mind

No more butterflies in my stomach

No more butterflies in my brain

No more butterflies in my heart

No more butterflies

When it starts to rain

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Why is my mind like this

Water board me slow

It turns to a moth
