Lyrics
Verse 1
Painted into a corner of the world
I place myself
Colors running, falling to the ground
All is dark
It?s my fortress, it?s my conflict
It?s my business, and you ought to know
Chorus
Here am I ? warm and dry
Safe inside my private room
Butterflies and alibis
Coincide in my cocoon
Verse 2
My condition fading into view
I shut my eyes
Seeking shelter in everything but you
I wither away
It?s so familiar in my asylum
It?s my savior, at least for now
Chorus
(Instrumental bridge)
Chorus2
Here am I warm and dry
Safe inside my private room
Butterflies and alibis
Coincide in my cocoon
Live and breathe ? laugh and greive
I learn of these all too soon
Butterflies and alibis
Live and die ? in my cocoon
