Paper Butterflies

Sometimes I can't read my mind This life doesn't feel like mine I cant help but think that it's such a shame I can't escape the walls of my brain But I think I'll be okay But I think I'll be okay All I can do is watch As I fade out of touch I can admit that I find some ease In handing my fate to the nearest breeze This is all I'll ever be Is this all I've ever be I pray my soul to keep 'Cause I am slipping out of reach Await my own demise Like pretty paper butterflies That crumble in the wind And vanish into oblivion Oh what a fateful end To a life aimlessly spent I've kept from coming undone I float too close to the sun And the flames will swallow my paper wings But I'd rather burn up than slowly sink Well at least I think No I don't wanna sink I pray my soul to keep 'Cause I am slipping out of reach Await my own demise Like pretty paper butterflies That crumble in the wind And vanish into oblivion Oh what a fateful end To a life aimlessly spent All the words I didn't say Written down on paper planes And sent away Now I don't have an alibi For why I let my life Pass me by Never got wanderlust or angel dust For fear of papercuts and tattered trust So I'll catch the next big gust of wind And ride it til the bitter end I pray my soul to keep 'Cause I am slipping out of reach Await my own demise Like pretty paper butterflies That crumble in the wind And vanish into oblivion Oh what a fateful end To a life aimlessly spent
