Lucinda Williams
Broken Butterflies

You wear your anger well and stand
For all the world to see
A heavy cloak and one gloved hand
And no humility

You stand inside the garden
And feast on black cherries
And swallow the manna from heaven
And spit out the seeds

You spread your anger on sharp-edged knives
Cut my skin and make it bleed
Like pilate in his self righteousness
You're a traitor and a thief

Choking on your unplanned words
Coughing up your lies
Tumbling from your mouth a flurry
Of broken butterflies

But the blood that flows I cannot hide
That blood that covers me
Nourishes the butterflies
And they are healed and are set free

I wish you had what Ruth possessed
But then I don't expect that of you
Grace and honor and faithfulness
And the love that you refuse

Will you ever learn to just forgive
Will you open your beautiful eyes
And bleed the way Christ did
And fix the broken butterflies


Mirror lyrics:

And fix the broken butterflies
And bleed the way Christ did
Will you open your beautiful eyes
Will you ever learn to just forgive

And the love that you refuse
Grace and honor and faithfulness
But then I don't expect that of you
I wish you had what Ruth possessed

And they are healed and are set free
Nourishes the butterflies
That blood that covers me
But the blood that flows I cannot hide

Of broken butterflies
Tumbling from your mouth a flurry
Coughing up your lies
Choking on your unplanned words

You're a traitor and a thief
Like pilate in his self righteousness
Cut my skin and make it bleed
You spread your anger on sharp-edged knives

And spit out the seeds
And swallow the manna from heaven
And feast on black cherries
You stand inside the garden

And no humility
A heavy cloak and one gloved hand
For all the world to see
You wear your anger well and stand
