Boxed Butterfly

You fly away again
Something tells me i'll be hitting desperation point
For a friend in maybe two days, maybe one and a half
But by then it's always too late
By then i will be forced to laugh at myself aloud
Insecure, still no immunity to the cold i now feel
In my bones

You coccooned me
Far too tightly
And now i'm left alone to wonder why
I'm like a boxed butterfly
And i fear that there will be
No one to fly to
Like a boxed butterfly
And so i will stay right here in this room
Right here without you

Oh yeah you fly away again
Traffics so loud and i can hear that man shouting
Shouting he's so unhappy all the time
Which brings to mind the peace i just cant seem to find inside
And there's this cold, down, way down in my bones

Oh god not again
Oh god not this again

I'm just like a butterfly that cant fly

The balcony

The ground moves away when i look down

Over in number 29 all appears to be just fine til he comes home
Then he comes home
There behind the fresh cut blooms he throws his arms around the room and
Pretty soon he will be gone

Over in number 25 shadows dancing on the blinds and
She is blinded by the white line fever
A million things she'd rather be
Imprisoned by neccessity
Tonight she feeds the keeper

Chorus
And the balcony's so high
A little too high for me tonight
The ground moves away when i look down

Over in number 22 she gets home late again from shcool
And daddy smiles behind his evening paper
If mummy only knew the truth of how he sneaks into her room
The lock removed, who will save her

Chorus +
Whether or not i'm here
It's insignificantly clear
When we are dust my dear
The world goes round

Flowers line the balcony, they celebrate their anniversary
In number 23
For all their tears and blood and war
I know see what i am fighting for
And it makes me smile

Chorus +
I contemplate my worth
Before i give this body back to earth
Though i am only sea
I'm not prepared to drown
So i turn my face around and i step down
