BIG BELLY BUTTERFLIES

BIG BELLY BUTTERFLIES
-Bel Canto

I want to give you love but it takes some guts to have and hold with

empathy

To coil around you tenderly feels like windows open wide, feels cold,

fresh breeze

So, then why do tears roll down my cheeks, flow and flood the temple of

my body's flesh and bones?

My body's flesh and bones

My body's flesh and bones

I want to give you more than I ever have

Somehow this is not my curse

The air, too thin, too many times recycled feels my big belly

butterflies, feeds, grows too, wild

Do you want to see me cry?

Yeah, head bent, on my knees? No!

You know I have to let you know that I have to let you go

Sixteen rifts inside of me, inside this solid tube, inside is solitude,

inside this solid tube...

Oh hopefully truth will make me free

Fly, you big belly butter, big jelly-belly butterflies

Is solitude

Inside they do

Inside too

My body's flesh and bones

My body's flesh and bones

Free
