Angry Butterfly by Kalie Shorr Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wrapped up in plastic, asleep in a straitjacket
Solitary's where I learned to dream
Took the chains that held me back
And I stretched them like elastic
Snuck a chainsaw into quarantine
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Verse 2]
I'm a stumbling contradiction, it is what it isn't
A ballerina wearing combat boots
Societal resistance, emotional crucifixion
Going through hell gave me one hell of an attitude
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Bridge]
I'm too tired to lie
And I'm too loud to hide
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Outro]
I was changed
When I clawed my way out
I was changed
Wrapped up in plastic, asleep in a straitjacket
Solitary's where I learned to dream
Took the chains that held me back
And I stretched them like elastic
Snuck a chainsaw into quarantine
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Verse 2]
I'm a stumbling contradiction, it is what it isn't
A ballerina wearing combat boots
Societal resistance, emotional crucifixion
Going through hell gave me one hell of an attitude
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Bridge]
I'm too tired to lie
And I'm too loud to hide
[Chorus]
I'm waking up an angry butterfly
Constellations in my eyes
And darkness in my veins
I've seen too much to censor myself now
I found beauty in a breakdown
And when I clawed my way out
I was changed, I was changed
[Outro]
I was changed
When I clawed my way out
I was changed
