Butterflies Drink Turtle Tears Lyrics by Year Twins

Leveled

2024

Uninhibited happiness
Scratches against the exterior walls
Like a fork against a ceramic plate
Like a dog clawing at the gate
His outside cage provides him no warmth
While the open world beckons
Oxygen, purpose, autonomy
The vultures and their mocking wings are waiting
Giving shade to their dinner
Just out of reach
Turn the key, indifferently
So I can die with dignity
Or make a meal out of me
At least I'll have some company
The forest cries at night
Beasts roaming with their young
Footprints in the soil
With untethered flora glowing rapidly
Like happiness uninhibited
No blades or machinery to flatten
No complex emotions binding them
Only pure survival
Their mocking howls carry through the air
And fall on infected ears
Turn the key, indifferently
So I can die with dignity
Or make a meal out of me
At least I'll have some company
Let me out
Exhausted from this endless loop
When can I regain control?
Crushing purposeful grip
Squeezes life from my dry throat
Cry for the days time won't give back
Regain control
Crushing purposeful grip
Squeezes life from my dry throat
Cry for the days time won't give back
Happiness lies dormant
Underneath the hazy surfaces of eyes
That have witnessed too much
Gathering dust
As the long, long, long, long, long, long, long wait for relief
Just drags on and on
