Well, I'm getting older and the nights are getting colder And the more I sleep, the more I think How easy it would be to disappear Like you did from here It's gonna be a long, quiet fall Without the warmth and the din of it all After the summer of black butterflies The summer of heavy rains, silent days Silent nights on my own After I pushed you away After I begged you to stay After you pulled out the driveway So don't be scared if I disappear If I should fly away from here Cause why should I stay to be on my own When I only let me be all alone Waited till 26 and I'm still here See the colors in the sky Watch all the blues and the greens as I Watch the black butterflies spiral away Watch as the storm clouds break for my gaze Way up high, break for me to see the sky To see the stars, to see the night I think I might go to sleep or say goodbye Think I could disappear, think I could run away Think I should stay What would they say, what would they think How would they feel,I'm on the brink Just go to sleep, just close my eyes So I can lie back and watch all of the black butterflies drift away Into the blues and the greens of the sky, oh Black butterflies on my skin Black butterflies, they're pulling me in Butterflies on the sun, I'm thinking it's time for me to run Run away, fly so high I think it's time to disappear I can close my eyes and go to sleep Black butterflies pulling me too deep
