Butterfly
Have you seen that man?
Tall and handsome.
x2
When will the butterflies stop
Dancing around in my stomach
As if it’s a sanctuary
A sanctuary created by overused memories
Put on rewind and played back
Over
and over
and over
and over
Again
I can’t help myself
No matter how much they get older they have the same effect
A drug
That doesn’t cease to need more than a single flicker of a reminder
A word
A shirt
A picture
Birthday cards
The spaghetti I ate
The sighing I make
My tolerance will not develop
The shivers I get
On the back of my neck
In between my thighs
Continue to bring out the weakness he has created
That sly fool
But not a fool at all
He knew what he was doing
Oh he knew it alright
When he touched those beautiful lips to mine
He opened my mouth and let his butterflies go
Each kiss dived into my skin
With the ease of an olympic athlete
Until my body
My body
Became the sanctuary to which these beautiful butterflies
Could thrive
Have you seen that man?
Tall and handsome.
x2
I recall the moment I knew there was no turning back
It was Long before we escaped into a fortress made of white sheets and old movies
Long before I traced the freckles on your back with calloused fingers
No
It was when you caught me
Aimless
Waiting to be caught
Wide eyed
And incredibly lost
Say my name
I wanna hear it
Say my name
I want to hear what lust sounds like
Say my name
And he did
That was the moment
Right there
I knew
When I found something in myself
I could no longer
Hide or ignore.
Have you seen that man?
Tall and handsome.
x2
They keep asking us the same question
What do you want?
I don’t know
What do you want?
I don’t know
What do you want?
I don’t know
But I want it.
I want it
I want it to be like
Give me a second
I…
I want it…
I…
Ummm…
Alright, I think I got it
I want it to be like that movie love
Like that love that you read about
Like that love that you see holding hands
The love that knocks your socks off
Leaves you blinded
And then gives you sight
The love that’s needed
A big pot of lust, desire, passion, infatuation, consideration, a deep admiration, and a whole lot of fornication mixed together
A witch
Stirring the pot to drink a drink I know will give me a fever
This is the type of love
The type of love that I need
The type of love that feeds me
To help me grow
The type of love
You only hear
In her vibrato.
I want a Holiday,
Holiday lover man
Please be my
Holiday,
Holiday lover man
I need a Holiday,
Holiday lover man
Please be my
Holiday,
Holiday lover man
Od Doctor Lee please help,
‘Cause I got a fever
But it feels
So
Good.

You Know Why
You Know Why x8
Yeah you know why
You make me feel so high
Yeah you know why
You make me feel so high
It feels like lightning
I'm seeing stars
He whispers sweetly
I better fold my cards
Yeah you know why
I make you feel so high
Yeah you know why
I make you feel so high
It’s ‘cause I need you
More than I want you
Yeah I could eat you
My sugar pie
You Know Why x8

MESS

Mess
So I was thinking of ways
To better myself
Could it be in what I drink
Or the food I eat
I read in Cosmo you should drink some tea
It’ll make your skin glow, and you’ll feel happy
But then I heard her
She said oo
She said ooooooo
She sad
Why should I drink some tea?
When there is perfectly good coffee, waiting for me?
So I was thinking of ways
To let it go
The anger I feel with things I can’t control
My mama told me I should meditate
Grab a lighter and burn some sage
And then I heard her
She said oo
She said oooooooo
She said
Why should I meditate?
They won’t hear unless I scream, and rage
So I was thinking of ways
To soothe my mind
From questioning my purpose in the dead of night
Should I pick up a book
Sit back and recline
Just to read about a love I cannot find
And then I heard her
She said oo
She said ooooo
She said
Pour yourself a glass of wine
Tuck yourself in, I’ll make you feel divine.
So this is the problem
With giving a damn
You wake up and realise
That life
is a fucking mess
x2
See I got, I got a problem
I gave a damn
I woke and realised
That life is a fucking mess
See I got a problem
I gave a damn
I woke and realised
That life is a fucking mess

Rage
Well you’ve done it
Yeah you’ve crossed the line
Yeah you’ve done it
This lioness is ready for a fight
Oh you’ve done it now
There’s no turning back
Yeah you’ve done it
She’s gonna turn you into dinner tonight
She’s gonna
Rage, Rage, Rage x4
Now you’ve entered no mans land
You wanna run
But you, wouldn’t dare.
She likes to put on a show
Something you won’t forget
A bit like Cirque du Soleil
But with the clown from IT
Won’t you be her volunteer?
Get the full experience
You make think it’s fun
Until she exposes your fears
She’s gonna
Rage, Rage, Rage x4
No time for second thoughts
The show must, go on.
You wouldn’t try this again
You’re smarter than that
But if per chance
You wanna another lesson
You’ll feel the shiver
On the back of your neck
You’ll smell the burn
As she see’s every shade of red.
She’s gonna
Rage, Rage, Rage x4
‘Cause if you’ve ever lived through a storm
You know it was calm
Before, it came.
