about

a song about anxiety & being stuck in a small coastal tourist town

lyrics

Butterflies

Sometimes I struggle to locate my breath
And the butterflies in my stomach swarm up to my chest
Everyone’s troubles I turn into mine
Now everything under the sky’s in decline

I could never hold my own against you
And I don’t have much more room to forget
All These little things time failed to erase
At least now I can stop drawing your grave

I’m walking the Old Coast Hwy to town
Past the lagoon where my sister near drowned me
The caravan park has near emptied out
There’s a bone cold westerly blowing straight through my body

Maybe it’s time that I left here too
Maybe then I could stop thinking about you
Sometimes I struggle to locate my breath
And the butterflies in my stomach swarm up to my chest
