(Intro – whispered, glitching)
Time cracks… (cracks)
Mind snaps… (snap-snap)
One flap… (one flap)
Everything collapses… (let it fall)
⸻
🎤 Verse 1 — Dark / Fast / Paranoid
I’ve been bleeding through the pages
(bleed it out)
Every journal is a portal, memory distorted, I’m aborted from a timeline that was mortal.
(whoosh)
Every choice a shackle, every branching path is fatal,
I rewind it, then I bind it, but the butterfly is hateful.
(it hates me)
Awaken by the ache of all the lives that I’ve destroyed,
I’m a void inside a boy, and every time I jump I’m paranoid.
(jump-jump… breathe)
Polaroids flicker — alternate reality quicker,
Visions get sicker — I’m the pain-patterned ticker.
(tick-tick-tick)
I’m a time bomb ticking with decisions I regret,
Every second is a prison that I never can forget.
Try to pivot — but I live it — then the timeline redirects,
Chokin’ on the fragments of the futures I protect.
(can’t breathe)
⸻
🎶 Hook — Slow + Heavy / Echoed
Break the wings…
(break ’em)
Let the chaos sing…
(let it scream)
Change one thing, then you lose everything.
(everything…)
I’m trapped in the echoes of the paths I bled —
A thousand lives inside my butterfly head.
(flutter)
Kiss the past goodnight…
Erase me from the light…
Every timeline bites when the wrong choice spreads.
I keep dying in the silence of the words I said.
(dead again)
⸻
🎤 Verse 2 — Faster / Angrier
Hit the flashback blast, body snaps when I’m travelin’,
(snap back!)
Every memory unravelin’ — the consequence battlin’.
(fight it)
I’m mangled in a mangled script,
Where Kayleigh’s fate is danglin’.
And every fix I angle with
Just deepens what I’m strangle-in’.
(no escape)
Father was a demon — couldn’t cage it,
Mom cryin’ every minute ’cause my fate’s already tainted.
(cry for me)
I’m a fractured protagonist, passages masochist,
Dragging through disasters where
I trade my life for averages.
(trade it)
Blackouts — crack out — alternate reality,
Back route — lash out — born into a tragedy.
Every ripple that I kindle is a symbol of catastrophe;
Future is a riddle and the past drags after me.
(draggin’)
Shatterin’ the fabric — can’t patch it — untenable,
Every version of my person curses me for the unmentionable.
(they hate me)
Inescapable — I phase into
The fate that I was chained into —
The weight of all my failures
Is the only thing that’s stable, dude.
(hold that weight)
⸻
🎶 Hook — Final / Heavy
Break the wings…
(break ‘em!)
Let the heartbreak ring…
(ring out)
Change one thing, and you kill everything.
(everything dies)
I’m tied to the echoes of the lives I shed —
A thousand deaths stuck in my butterfly head.
(choke)
Cut me out the frame…
(gone)
Let her forget my name…
(forget me)
Love is the price when the timeline spreads.
I walk alone into the dark where the future bled…
…and let the butterfly die instead.
(goodbye)
