- Shriveled wings - I knew it would end like this like it always does Sick of my mind sick to my stomach I knew it would end up exploding sooner or later so why didn't I lock it away when I had the chance Now the burn is on my wings it sizzles and pops them away Now the burn is in my throat choking on my words and choking on my heart Now the burn is in my brain acid bubbles and holes in my memory Now the burn is in my belly the butterflies now sickly moths The kind of butterflies you get in the air while youre falling Down down down Down with my shriveled wings down with my self esteem Down down down Down with what I thought was good enough Turns out my delusions were really just a warning a scream telling me it all would end and I should've been prepared And I was prepared prepared to drop it all and run to say I'm fine when I let it go in a day but I guess I let my guard down Just for a moment even because everyone reassured me and told me it was all gonna be alright It's never alright Never listen to reassurance never let your guard down never good enough never good enough This all could've been avoided if I weren't so paranoid if my words werent as shriveled as my wings Why am I like this why do I chase them away why do I try why do I try Affirmation is fake worry is heartbreak love is fleeting That feeling was always there even before we joined a flurry SHAKE SHAKE The gut feeling twisted feeling twisted gut Listen to your gut LISTEN TO YOUR GUT That feeling was always there even before I flapped my wings SHAKE SHAKE You're not good enough YOURE NOT GOOD ENOUGH I knew this would happen one way or another so why did I let my guard down Why am I so paranoid all the time why do you still care Why am I so easy to worry about why did the worry lead to abandonment Why do I even bother with love anymore if it all ends the same It always ends with fizzy guts and shriveled wings
ugh why do I do this to people T_T ! ADDED TO CAN OF BUTTERFLIES ! Affirmation is fake worry is heartbreak love is fleeting
