Broken Butterflies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You wear your anger well and stand
For all the world to see
A heavy cloak and one gloved hand
And no humility
You stand inside the garden
And feast on black cherries
And swallow the manna from heaven
And spit out the seeds

[Verse 2]
You spread your anger on sharp-edged knives
Cut my skin and make it bleed
Like Pilate in his self-righteousness
You're a traitor and a thief
Choking on your unplanned words
Coughing up your lies
Tumbling from your mouth a flurry
Of broken butterflies

[Verse 3]
Broken butterflies at rest
Their wings have snapped in two
On their way to certain death
Their colors golden blue
But the blood that flows I cannot hide
The blood that covers me
Nourishes the butterflies
And they are healed and are set free

[Verse 4]
I wish you had what Ruth possessed
But then I don't expect that of you
Grace and honor and faithfulness
And the love that you refuse
Will you ever learn to just forgive?
Will you open your beautiful eyes
And bleed the way Christ did
And fix the broken butterflies?
