Butterfly Dream

There is no woman

There is no drug

There's no amount of money or fun

No conversation that I could have

No entertainment that could distract

Me from the voice that's always in my ear

That's always tellin' me it doesn't matter

Everywhere I go it's all I hear

And it can hurt my head, but it can sound so sweet

Wondering if I'm awake

Maybe I'm dreaming

Well how could I tell anyway?

Try and define what was here today

But then I know I can't believe my eyes

How can I tell you're in front of me?

And not a shadow made up in my mind

I think I need it

I know I don't

I wanna drink and

I wanna smoke

I wanna kiss and take off your dress

If it's not one thing, then it's the next

Think that I'm using to get through the day

That keeps me staring in the wrong direction

And if I only ever look one way

Then I can miss some things I might have liked to see

Wondering if I'm awake

Maybe I'm dreaming

Well how could I tell anyway?

Try and define what was here today

But then I know I can't believe my eyes

How can I tell you're in front of me?

And not a shadow made up in my mind

I built them up then they all fell down

One at a time 'til they laid on the floor

I know they'll be eventually run down

And when it's gone, I'll be looking for more

I built these walls up around myself

They're not as safe as I thought that they were

I built them up then they all fell down

It was the prettiest sound that I ever heard
