Paper Butterflies by Kaitlyn Myers Lyrics

Sometimes I can't read my mind
This life doesn't feel like mine
I can't help but think that it's such a shame
That I can't escape the walls of my brain
But I think I'll be okay
But I think I'll be okay

All I can do is watch
As I fade out of touch
I can admit that I find some ease
In handing my fate to the nearest breeze
This is all I'll ever be
Is this all I've ever be

I pray my soul to keep
'Cause I am slipping out of reach
Await my own demise
Like pretty paper butterflies
That crumble in the wind
And vanish into oblivion
Oh what a fateful end
To a life aimlessly spent
I've kept from coming undone
I'll float too close to the sun
And the flames will swallow my paper wings
But I'd rather burn up than slowly sink
Well at least I think
No I don't wanna sink

I pray my soul to keep
'Cause I am slipping out of reach
Await my own demise
Like pretty paper butterflies
That crumble in the wind
And vanish into oblivion
Oh what a fateful end
To a life aimlessly spent

All of the words I didn't say
Written down on paper planes
And sent away
Now I don't have an alibi
For why I let my life
Pass me by
Never got angel dust or wanderlust
For fear of papercuts and tattered trust
So I'll catch the next big gust of wind
And ride it to the bitter end
I pray my soul to keep
'Cause I am slipping out of reach
Await my own demise
Like pretty paper butterflies
That crumble in the wind
And vanish into oblivion
Oh what a fateful end
To a life aimlessly spent
