...And The Butterfly


Diving Bell

With secrets on tongues, and breath in our lungs, I can hardly stand
To walk on my own, my hands I would throw, up in the air.

Messages lost, I'm on but you're not, can't look into your eyes.

With photographs and magnetic tape, we capture what would otherwise fade. And I'm up and I'm down, laugh with a frown- I feel fake. I feel...

Down in the woods of my tangled up mind, I dig up roots that I'd rather not find.
Let's just be as long as we last, no I can't take you, out of your past.

With photographs and magnetic tape, we capture what would otherwise fade. And I'm up and I'm down, laugh with a frown- I feel fake. I feel...

May seem a bit clumsy as it was written as lyrics to one of my songs, opposed to being written solely as good writing or poetry! You always find yourself constructing the words round the music, rather then letting the words own the song... Perhaps this takes them out of context too much?
