My Butterfly Collection Lyrics by Will Gardiner

My Butterfly Collection

0

[Verse 1]
These memories are like butterflies I’ve caught in my jar
I could’ve let them fly away to a land that is so far
But instead I examine them and identify each one
Sear their names into my brain under the setting sun
Is it my fault that I know each and every wing?
Is it normal to try to understand every thing?
What if I could just let them go away into the trees
Why did I have to pin them for eternity
[Chorus]
This is my butterfly collection
A testament to my life
I know every wing and scale
And I know it’ll be alright
[Verse 2]
I caught a Painted Lady and I stuck it in a box
It’ll be in there forever until I’m under rocks
I’ll memorize each and every shape that decorate its frame
Recite the words and names until it all sounds the same
Even if it hurts so bad to know exactly what occurred
It brings a sense of comfort to wipe away the blur
These memories define who I am and I will live with that
Dead butterflies and nightmares will show me where I’m at
[Chorus]
This is my butterfly collection
A testament to my life
I know every wing and scale
And I know it’ll be alright
