You're a butterfly
And I won't pretend
That I don't want to cry
When I can't keep you safe

You're gonna watch me die
As I've watched you change
And I'm not gonna lie
I'd do it all again

Butterfly
Oh, butterfly
I won't lie
No, I won't lie

We've had times
That we'll never forget
Many times
That I'll never regret

But now it's time
That I bid you farewell
Without you
All places are hell

You're a butterfly
And I won't pretend
That I don't want to cry
When I can't keep you safe

You're gonna watch me die
As I've watched you change
And I'm not gonna lie
I'd do it all again

Butterfly
Oh, butterfly
I won't lie
No, I won't lie

In awful times
We were a duet
All that time
A russian roulette

But now it's time
That I bid you farewell
Without you
All places are hell

You're a butterfly
And I won't pretend
That I don't want to cry
When I can't keep you safe

You're gonna watch me die
As I've watched you change
And I'm not gonna lie
I'd do it all again

Butterfly
Oh, butterfly
I won't lie
No, I won't lie

No Great Epiphony, Just Euphony

By Neels Brand

Began writing this lyric about how Neil Degrasse Tyson once spoke about how language is actually impeding us and getting in the way of progress by forcing us to put out feelings and ideas into words that already exist. I simply took it one humble step further by proposing that souns and music itself could serve to "help" eleviate this problem. I feel kind of silly cause, you know, he is the "rock star of science", but I meant every word. It also occured to me, by the end, that I was not thinking of those who are deaf, or struggle with hearing related problems. I deeply apologise if my lyrics came across as insensitive in any way. I am just so tired of a world full of darkness, hatred, war, famine... and if I am to say something, I should start somewhere. P, ease forgive me.

Lyin' to Myself Again

By Brian Hendrix

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and just jotted it down. So it's the newest song I've written. About a guy who was really tore up by his woman leaving him and lies to himself that he's over her, when he's really not. Though it can also work just as well from a female's perspective. Only a simple word needs to be changed in the entire song.
