I'm a caterpillar taking strides up your water filler
I'll climb as far as I can, and I know that you're not a killer
Till you step on me, step on me, leave me stuck on earth
Before I could see the sky
But you couldn't know
How could you know?
I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly
And I hate this feeling and I hate this room
Crawling up the ceiling, I'm falling back to you
I'm a bottom feeder and I'd trade it all
I cry for a garden killer
Drowning in pesticides, holding on for dear life
A caterpillar, dying so young
But you couldn't know, you're not my friend
You couldn't know, you're just a fan
To everyone, it's just a band
But this is all that I am
I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly
All I can say is I tried
I wasn't able to see myself through better eyes
Before I went completely blind
But you couldn't know, you're not my friend
You couldn't know, you're just a fan
To everyone, it's just a band
But this is all that I am
I'm loved and I'm objectified
I'm loved and I'm objectified
You told me that I saved your life
But who the fuck is saving mine?
Turn on the stage lights and watch me as I come alive
And watch my darkness turn to light
I wasn't able to turn into a butterfly
All I can say is I tried
I wasn't able to see myself through better eyes
Before I went completely blind
And maybe I'm blind
Maybe I'll try
Maybe I'll fly
