butterfly ring Lyrics

I bought a butterfly ring from the store

I closed my eyes and held it tight, wishing for more

Of those stories I've heard of guys turning to girls

In some magic transition, how tender the words

But I opened my eyes and the words I despised

How absurd could I be

I'm the son of the family, the dutiful man

The dude with the low voice I can't understand

Why the privilege I'm given, the visage I live in

All feels like a prison to me

The bars made of bone and the walls made of skin

And I can't find the key

Found myself but now I'm lost

Is being true truly worth the cost

I'm up til 4am bored again looking for some

Pieces of the person that I was when I was born

And I mourn the loss of that poor boy who lived but could not stay

And the thoughts of that poor girl who'll never see the light of day

I'm waiting for the moral of the story to be more

Than just dysphoric disarray

Found myself but now I'm lost

Is being true truly worth the cost

Oh, found myself but now I'm lost

Is being true truly worth the cost
