"Butterflies & Diamond Chains" lyrics
Butterflies and diamond chains
Mmm, you can move mountains
My inner being, so full of hate
Mmm, you can move mountains
Story of my life though
Is this you or is this me?
We've been here before in another time
You can move mountains
Now that I am alone
I can move mountains
Story of my life though
Took a lot to say what I wanted to when everything was dark
I saw the blue inside my veins and it was looking at me hard
Grey elephants walking down the green elements
Orange turmeric in a sea of red ornaments
My people Dravidian, my pupils brown with green in them
My skin the outcome of immigrants, my mind the sphere of sin
Mixed in with crippling thoughts of identity
Then doves, coming home to save me on my last wheelie in the parking lot
This one's for my real shot
My redemption song, my connection song, my evolution-in-pink-and-blue confusion song
My mind made up, you can't move me, I'm a mountain song
Oh, you're a mustard seed? Oh, you're a part of me?
Oh, you're one more than I thought I needed, but none less than the amount I conceived to be
Are we twins from the past? Are we bruises that last? 'Cause we keep bruising them back
This could be our healing, our spiritual Nike socks on the rock
Moses pray to the gods and they mock us back with skies so blue when you're feeling blue
There are no gods, just me and you
Don't make me your god
Butterflies and diamond chains
Waking up, the sun is down again
You can move mountains
My inner being, so full of hate
Letting go and becoming sane again
You can move mountains
Story of my life though
Is this you or is this me?
We've been here before in another time
You can move mountains
Now that I am alone
I can move mountains
Story of my life though
I was never a bitch, I was always kind, but I was fake sometimes
I'd say things I didn't mean, I'd make love to people I didn't even feel love for
How do you explain the mind that just hangs on the hanger in the closet?
Fresh, but an untouched deposit
Maybe it's my genetic makeup, maybe it's Maybelline
Maybe it's my core inside with no sign of a tightening
I could spread it all out like I was made to be your object of desire
But instead, I perspire in my box, I was forced to lock the lock
I was told to talk the pussy talk after one time, and don't get it wrong
My pussy is fucking divine, but on a spiritual note
Who am I more than my flesh and blood?
And the canvas of my skin and teeth and eyes and ears and toenails
Who am I more? A freak at your door, or a deep awakening in my core
The kind that I can't fucking ignore
Story of my life though
Butterflies and diamond chains
Waking up, the sun is down again
You can move mountains
My inner being, so full of hate
Letting go and becoming sane again
You can move mountains
Story of my life though
Is this you or is this me?
We've been here before in another time
You can move mountains
Now that I am alone
I can move mountains
Story of my life though
I put my feelings so deep inside my pockets, then I took off my jeans
Put your name in a locket, and then I pawned it
I don't want to care about the past, but sometimes it comes bleeding back
I'm only human in the eyes of humans, but I'm a god in the eyes of gods
Mmm, you can move mountains
My inner being, so full of hate
Mmm, you can move mountains
Story of my life though
Is this you or is this me?
We've been here before in another time
You can move mountains
Now that I am alone
I can move mountains
Story of my life though
Took a lot to say what I wanted to when everything was dark
I saw the blue inside my veins and it was looking at me hard
Grey elephants walking down the green elements
