Butterflies Lyrics - White Lilies Island - Natalie Imbruglia

Swallow purple terror candy 

Don't forget to breathe 

Sickened by the wanting 

And drowning from the need 

This dichromatic vision 

Of one who does not care 

To sipping cocktail sedatives 

Two months to hide somewhere 

Butterflies, butterflies 

Cut the stomach out and hand it over 

Butterflies, butterflies 

My heart will be the bridge that you walk over 

The wolf has caught the chicken 

And now I feel unsteady 

Emotions on the blink again 

So kick me when you're ready 

Here lies a violet coffin 

The death of my control 

Along with all my skeletons 

They put them in a hole 

Butterflies, butterflies 

Cut the stomach out and hand it over 

Butterflies, butterflies 

My heart will be the bridge that you walk over 

Sickened by the notion 

I give myself again 

Choking on the bullet 

The gun that's found a friend 

So raise your glass to sorrow 

And drink to all the pain 

Tie a silver ribbon around 

The pieces that remain 

Butterflies, butterflies 

Cut the stomach out and hand it over 

Butterflies, butterflies 

My heart will be the bridge that you walk over 

That you walk over 

That you walk over
