Verse 1
And just like that it's over 
Like waking from a dream
Into the same old nightmare
That makes you want to scream
But your mouth is so damn dry
It can't even make a sound
And you know that what you have lost
It is unlikely will be found

PreChorus
I'm looking to the heavens
Shouting out 
Why why why
But I realize that I look crazy 
Shouting up at the sky

Chorus 
After a second look
I realized that I mistook
A moth for a butterfly
She tricked my sight
Would come out at night and
Only let me see her in a certain light

Verse 2
Seems like not so long ago
I was waking up in paradise
Navigating rivers of your heart
Now I'm waist deep in a river of vice
Spinning down, the current takes me
At least I feel desired
It's like I was asleep the whole time with you
How is it that I'm still tired?

Repeat Prechorus and Chorus

Verse 3
 I'll never feel like a failure
As long as she's still
Trapped in some town 
At her own will
Getting fucked in a trailer
By the mentally ill

PreChorus
I look up the heavens
Shouting out
Ha ha ha
I'm cracking up laughing 
But still shedding tears
Sure my logic won't quit
But my love still perseveres
