butterfly skin

[Part 1: sunphobic]

[Verse: Aly, Shrimp]
There’s something bigger, can you see it?
This uninhabitable body of mines been dreaming (Dreaming)
My cane has splintered beneath me
Butterfly skin and vegetable bones both creasing
Weight of what my head holds drags these anvil eyelids low
Curse my lack of faith in self, I let it go
For something bigger has come
Another day of hiding from the sun

[Part 2: bugbite]

[Intro: Aly]
Come back come back
Stepping back saying it’s my fault
Wishing that I could hold it all
Either way, still want a lil' piece

[Verse 1: Aly]
Baby, get crunk, get drunk, get shit, get ugly, or give up, I’m still in love
Risk it, talking pessimist, still mine, still holy, still in love
Festival in restaurant
Yelling out I’m still in love
Flexible I’m flexible
Get drunk, get crunk, get shit, give up
Let’s get funky, don't stop for nothing
No, I'm still in love
Sure know how to make 'em tell your mama
How I'm still in love
There you are, there you are
Heal your heart a little

[Verse 2: Shrimp]
Tryna find a place in a bad world
Throw it all away watch the cash burn
I don't wanna stay I don't want this hurt
Let me take a day, let me calm my nerves
Fear in my bedroom, corner of the wall just crumbled through the asphalt
Feet fell through the floor, turn off the lights and put my head down
Downfall, I don't wanna down play it
I just wanna count on you
Dreadful, I don't want last place
I don't wanna beg for you
Your hands full, put it all down I’ll hold it
Till my bones get weak and thin
Put it on the backburner baby, it’s not important

[Part 3: piano interlude]

[Bridge: Aly]
I couldn’t breathe
Across your feet
You been living free

I see truth in your eyes
In your eyes sometimes
Gets slow in your mind, get slow inside
Oh, what a ride

Crossed out, carry me?
Thoughts I been letting in
Breaking me down
You feel like medicine
Sometimes I fantasize about you
Take care of me

There's always a swollen eye
All this pain on your body

Something bigger and better I chase
And I know that we both can’t just stay here
There’s no escape
I get low to the floor, I get—

[Part 4: Dusty]

[Verse: Shrimp, Aly]
She said I'm bad for you, how am I bad for you?
I still care, I can't fake it now
Nobody asked, I won't make a sound
Falling until I'm on the ground
Nobody cared when I sunk into my bedroom
Wrap me 'round your finger
Keep me caged up with no leg room
(Everyone laughs now, I won't feel too bad when I don't stay around)
(Stay around me, baby, promise that we’ll work it out)

Sleep so soundly when I'm not there

[Part 5: SWEETUMS]

[Verse: Aly, Shrimp, baby aly]
My sweet, you’re so mean
Say, say I react, say I need Jesus
Can’t feel out what you be speaking
There are some days where I just can't reach it
Oh
There are days that I feel so low
Oh, the places we could go

It’s late, just come on over
My head heavy on your shoulder, stay
You know you always got a place here
You cut through skin and surface
New blood won't find new purpose
Face it, you know you always got a-
Place here

For you
Know there’s a place for you
For you, my darling, it’s okay

[Part 6: From Up There]

[Outro: Shrimp, Aly]
Woke up sick and unwell
All dried up and my eyelids heavy
Wish I could tell you some way
Matter of fact, I don't care listen to me
Paint and porcelain
Butterfly skin keeps peeling in the sun

For today I am reborn!!!!!!!!!!!
