about

This is like the B side to Butterfly, I'd been messing around with the guitar riff that I'd recorded and I ended up making something completely different, I decided to make it into a separate version, darker, deeper. I really like how this track turned out

lyrics

Quit your crawling hear the calling of the butterfly
Should be gliding but you’re stalling and you wonder why
Give it your best shot, fail well never mind
Sigh when you cry but you try and you can’t deny
Don’t stop going keep sowing and you will reap
Swimming in a sewer no allure up hip deep
Sketch out the stretch and fetch and you will reach
White sand, yes I can, make a stand, draw your beach
Dream shatter, don’t worry don’t let it matter
Numbers don’t add up, don’t hurry, don’t treat the data
Little feet in my memory go pitter patter
Didn’t get it, don’t sweat it, just let it, keep your hat on
Do what you believe is true, know that you believe in you
Living like heathens do, thanks to who conceived of you
Have you even mapped out everything that you can even do
While others slept, take a step, believe it’s true

Woke up shooting up like a sky scraper
Life sweet, need a treat so I might bake a
Flat bread, what’s said, need a life shake up
Juicy fruit, looking cute with no eye make up
Woke up shooting up like a sky scraper
Life sweet, need a treat so I might bake a
Flat bread, what’s said, need a life shake up
Juicy fruit, looking cute with no eye make up

Eager will, eager do, take a peak, peak-a-boo
Don’t think, seek and do, no grim reaper ghoul
Your boat like the Titanic, take a leak or two
Won’t sink bounce back up like a kangaroo
Sum of one, onion with many layers
Full back, wing attack with many players
Be you a coward, or a thief or a dragon slayer
No chief, want peace so here my prayer
Bright beams bear down
Fight teams stare down
Light dreams fairground
Pipe dreams tear down
Quite clean bare ground
High steam rare sound
Lockdown wear down
Night queen wear crown

Woke up shooting up like a sky scraper
Life sweet, need a treat so I might bake a
Flat bread, what’s said, need a life shake up
Juicy fruit, looking cute with no eye make up
Woke up shooting up like a sky scraper
Life sweet, need a treat so I might bake a
Flat bread, what’s said, need a life shake up
Juicy fruit, looking cute with no eye make up
