  • I'm drinking dust
    With eyes of rust
    Tonight my tears might stain your wings
    So flutter home
    'Cause you're better off alone than with me

    So hide your face
    And tie your lace
    And butterflies across your cheek
    Forget how soon you become a fool for words when I speak

    Flutter girl you don't want to know what I live
    You don't want to take what I give
    'Cause I give nothing for free

    You don't want to know what I live
    You don't want to take what I give
    'Cause I give nothing for free

    My hands are rough
    My fingers cold
    And your heart so young and so naive
    To ever feel for a moment that I might dare to believe

    Flutter girl you don't want to know what I live
    You don't want to take what I give
    'Cause I give nothing for free

    You don't want to know what I live
    You don't want to take what I give
    'Cause I give nothing for free

    I'll tear your wings as I melt in your smile as I run all your colors away

    Flutter girl you don't want to know what I live
    You don't want to take what I give
    'Cause I give nothing for free

    You don't want to know what I live
