I'm a caterpillar taking strides up your water filler I'll climb as far as I can, and I know that you're not a killer Till you step on me, step on me, leave me stuck on earth Before I could see the sky But you couldn't know How could you know? I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly And I hate this feeling and I hate this room Crawling up the ceiling, I'm falling back to you I'm a bottom feeder and I'd trade it all I cry for a garden killer Drowning in pesticides, holding on for dear life A caterpillar, dying so young But you couldn't know, you're not my friend You couldn't know, you're just a fan To everyone, it's just a band But this is all that I am I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly All I can say is I tried I wasn't able to see myself through better eyes Before I went completely blind But you couldn't know, you're not my friend You couldn't know, you're just a fan To everyone, it's just a band But this is all that I am I'm loved and I'm objectified I'm loved and I'm objectified You told me that I saved your life But who the fuck is saving mine? Turn on the stage lights and watch me as I come alive And watch my darkness turn to light I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly All I can say is I tried I wasn't able to see myself through better eyes Before I went completely blind And maybe I'm blind Maybe I'll try Maybe I'll fly
