Cutterflies
Those words of hate
Sent out to harm
Set cold steel
Upon my arm
My crimson tears
Sink to the dust
A silent scream
From razor's lust
My cutterfly with fragile wings
Safeguard my skin from darker things
Butterfly as written down
In blacks and blues
In greens and browns
But never red
No not again just cutterflies to mark my skin
Worlds of pain
Won't do me in
As my precious ones
Come swarming in
Oh, butterfly
Dream peaceful things
And whisper them
While cold steel sings
Don't let life's blade
Fall to my arm
My cutterfly
Save me from harm
Cutterfly with fragile wings
Safeguard my skin from evil things
My butterflies I've written down
Upon my arm
In blue
In black
In green and brown
But never red
No not again
Just butterflies to kiss the skin
Sent out to harm
Set cold steel
Upon my arm
My crimson tears
Sink to the dust
A silent scream
From razor's lust
My cutterfly with fragile wings
Safeguard my skin from darker things
Butterfly as written down
In blacks and blues
In greens and browns
But never red
No not again just cutterflies to mark my skin
Worlds of pain
Won't do me in
As my precious ones
Come swarming in
Oh, butterfly
Dream peaceful things
And whisper them
While cold steel sings
Don't let life's blade
Fall to my arm
My cutterfly
Save me from harm
Cutterfly with fragile wings
Safeguard my skin from evil things
My butterflies I've written down
Upon my arm
In blue
In black
In green and brown
But never red
No not again
Just butterflies to kiss the skin
