James Lyrics by Connie Constance

The Butterfly Club

2020

[Verse 1]
I went on a self-destructive rampage last night
Now I'm paying for it but can't afford the price
Don't know how I got here, been happy all year
Hadn't taken any drugs before this

[Pre-Chorus]
So I took lots of Charlie and drank till everything was blurry, in an Irish pub in Stokie
Lost my burning desire to live, in a couple lines of Ketamine
Shut up my brain for a sec and washed it all down with some sex
Took a cold shower at anti-social hours and crawled back to my bed

[Chorus]
Then I woke up to you and your eyes glazed over like mine
Except you hadn't had three bottles of wine
I'm coughing from smoking and groaning from a headache
I'm wishing I could crawl into your skin for a day
Then I woke up to you and your nose bleed dripping like mine
Except you hadn't had too many white lines
I'm coughing from smoking and groaning from a headache
You're wishing for a drug that can take the pain away

[Post-Chorus]
I hope the drugs
I hope the drugs make you feel better
Whilst you're trying to stay alive
I'm using mine to feel deader

[Verse 2]
I've been cornered by other thoughts I've tried to suppress
Feel like a coward, colouring the darkness in my mind with narcotics
Don't know how I got here, this was meant to be my year
Tonight I'll wear the mask and play the clown, anything to forget

[Pre-Chorus]
So I spent my weekly budget on tequila
Shots with the squad like I'm the geezer
Lost my burning desire to live, in a couple of Es and a nasty trip
Shut up my brain for a sec and washed it all down with some sex
Sat on the roof with a rollie and crawled back to my bed

[Chorus]
Then I woke up to you and your eyes glazed over like mine
Except you haven't had three bottles of wine
I'm coughing from smoking and groaning from a headache
I'm wishing I could crawl into your skin for a day
Then I woke up to you and your nose bleed dripping like mine
Except you hadn't had too many white lines
I'm coughing from smoking and groaning from a headache
You're wishing for a drug that can take the pain away

[Post-Chorus]
I hope the drugs make you feel better
Cos' while you're trying to stay alive
I'm using mine to feel deader
