We Are The Living

(album: Supermoon - 2015)

We are the living
We're out in the fields
For being in the city
For walking on heels

We were expected
We were a surprise
But then when they had us
We kept them alive

We were the future
They gave us a name
They bottled and beat us
They left us alone

They bought us a TV
They asked where we've been
They called us the daughter and then
They called us their son

Oh when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
Yeah when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn burn burn

Yeah when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
Oh we're gonna be gone
We're gonna be gone gone gone

They had to have us
'Cause they felt alone
'Cause they really wanted
'Cause someone said so

They made us from bedsheets
With their heads in the clouds
They made us from whiskey
And tugboats and prows

We are the living
We are the living

Hmmm

Oh when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
Oh when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn burn burn

Yeah when the butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
The butterflies burn
Oh we're gonna be gone
We're gonna be gone gone gone

We are the living we are the living we are the living
We are the living we are the living we are the living
We are the living
