Butterfly Effects

Brainwave heatwave sand in my teeth

Past on a loop blood on the beach

Eyes on the ceiling fan spinning wrong

Butterfly effects flap in my skull

PTSD in a seashell

Hell in the swell

When it backwash zap in my jaw

Static in my laugh

Psychopath grinning in a Polaroid

Taped to my mask when I black out

Therapist voice drowning in the bath

Tongue taste gunpowder saltwater, rum

Mom say pray I just chew my thumb

Rooms go fisheye

Doors grow teeth

Every kind word

Hide broken reef

Butterfly effects in my head, in my head (yeah)

Tiny wingbeat turn to tidal regret

I go whoa-oh off the edge, off the edge

You see a small twitch

I see the world get wrecked

Butterfly effects

Butterfly

Butterfly (scream it)

Butterfly effects

Watch the faultline crack (wait)

Manic on Monday dead by noon

Moon in my chest turn to harpoon

Clock count backwards veins tap code

Heart crash test no airbag mode

Laugh in the cop car teeth full of sand

Handcuff halo bruised wrist band

Say I'm "high risk"

I say "I been"

Since the TV snow crept under my skin

Flashback flipbook frames all torn

Halo of flies round the uniform

Who in the mirror?

Who in my brain? (who)

Ten little voices chant my name

One say jump one say run

One say burn it one load gun

Ocean in the ashtray grow black foam

I don't trust even chromosomes

Every small word hit me head-on

Tiny loose screw tear the wings off calm

Butterfly effects in my head

In my head (go)

Every side-eye turn to siren in red

I go whoa-oh off the edge, off the edge

You call me "too much"

I call it playing dead
