Lyrics

I'm drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

My hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe..

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

And you don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

(Long solo...)

I'll tear your wings as I melt in your smile as I run all your
Colors away

Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

You don't want to know what I've lived
Flutter girl
