Butterflies in the ice
Took a lot on you, put it on yourself, turned your heart around, tore your nerves, exhausted your stamina, counted you, your good ones Will pumped up to a stand-up collar, your vision infinitely clouded, superhuman demands made of you, my madness compartmentalized, every corner of your room claimed, idolized for my wrong fate, flattened, shattered, with my addiction to comfort, my knots torn I left my waves to calm, you laid every wave calmly on the shore.
You gave me what I deserved, I paid the fair price, I need you back to survive, your butterflies in the ice.
No one speaks my language, no one buys my memories, no bid, no one picks up my suitcase, opens my case, pays the bail, no one gives me an alibi, no one accepts my plea for clemency, no one takes me with them spared the truth.
You gave me what I deserved, I paid the fair price, I need you back to survive, your butterflies in the ice.
No one cries my tears, no one suffers, no one takes over my spell, no one undoes what has been done, no one starts over for me, no one loosens my noose, suspends my sentence, no one bribes the executioner, takes me out of the nightmare, no one changes the script, no one cancels the film, no one prays for me, no one tells me what you think, no one tells me the code word, tells me your whereabouts, stops me a lonely mountain, need your butterflies in the ice.
