Butterflies Instead

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass and pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence

Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault
Your mom and me don't get along"
I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as inexplicable
I hear, forget, this world instead
And suddenly the sun comes up
That's when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right

My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
And if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
That's when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always...
Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright
Alright
Alright

Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

My eyes all red, the baby's wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me

Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
