Toxic Butterflies

"you know that butterflies in the stomach feeling you get? You know, when you like someone a lot?"

"Well you know how in high school, or whatever, there's always this one person? And you think you're going to be with them for the rest of your life, like, even if you haven't spoken to them once? And then sometime, one day, whenever you finally realize that they don't even know your name and… well that nothing's going to happen between you. But you can't help those butterfly feelings whenever you see them still and it keeps on going for a while… Those are toxic butterflies.

Kamikaze Moths

Your face burns bright behind my eyes,

Your voice a crackle of static to me,

I beat paper wings just to reach you,

But every time a part of me dies…

(Chorus)

We all palpitate like hearts on a string,

Our antennae cauterize, our abdomens sting…

We flutter endlessly, burnt and maimed,

Drawn like kamikaze moths to a flame…

I fly through a grim tomb of dead flies,

Cry because your light hurts,

I touch your warmth 'cuz I want to be burned,

You, the flame, rise as my demise…

(Chorus)

We all palpitate like hearts on a string,

Our antennae cauterize, our abdomens sting…

We flutter endlessly, burnt and maimed,

Drawn like kamikaze moths to a flame…

Just eat me away!

(Chorus)
