you're deprecation disguised as pretty butterflies,
flatter me with fleeting feelings and white lies
you bring adrenaline, amphetamine,
february with hints of spring -
and you promise me words you could never sing.

I despise how I romanticize
your fleeting feelings and fake highs
and I swear I tried for quite some times
to actually see
through all your smoke and nicotine -
but I can barely notice anything.

with only deceitful tension in your telephone wires
you go on and kill more butterflies
so I bury them beneath the skies -
I guess they won't come back for another night.

oh what a shame,
it was just a dream I had in mind
and all your beauty is lost
in your empty eyes.
