In Other Words

Another night slips away
In other words i should say
There are no words he should say
There are no words
In his eyes I see the fear
That only time could disappear
If only time could re-appear
Now's the time
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggresive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
The multi-life is better than
The one we're in the one we knew
Cause everyone is seein' through everyone
They're steppin' on
His gold terrain
He's movin' on with bold refrain
His blatently old campaign
Is movin' on
Somethin' to take it away to take it away to take it
Don't let it stay don't let it stay don't let it
The butterflies are passive aggresive and put their problems on the shelf but they're beautiful
He'll realize the only thing thats real are the kids that kid themselves and the demise of the beautiful
What is beautiful?
What can't stay goes away
It starts stopping when it stops stopping
