Butterfly Boy (From No One Left But You) Lyrics

Well, I told you that I was a butterfly boy

But all you could see was the seams

Where I sewed on my wings but I showed you my heart

In the wrecks of my hands, can't you see

And oh, how I begged you to see

Oh, how I begged you to see

I'm all out of guts and my tongue's falling off

My bones break and rot

My skin's sloughing rough

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot

Yeah, I told you that I was a butterfly boy

And you just wouldn't listen to me

The chrysalis that I made for myself

Was the wrong kind of fabric, you see

The map I was given was riven with lies

The names written backwards, the seas and the skies

If only I could change and take flight

Then of course I would, but wings run on hope and I'm dry

I'm all out of guts and my tongue's falling off

My bones break and rot

My skin's sloughing rough

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot,

I'm who time forgot

I'm all out of luck and my heart's a dumb bitch

My fist shaking a snap, my soul slides and slips

This meat doesn't fit, this meat doesn't fit

It's all that I got but this meat doesn't fit

I'm who time forgot, I'm all that I got

This meat doesn't fit but it's all that I got

I'm who time forgot, I'm who time forgot

I'm who time forgot, I'm who time forgot

I'm who time forgot and I'm

I'm who time forgot and I'm
