Broken Butterflies - Lucinda Williams (露辛达·威廉斯)[00:00:00]

Written by：Lucinda Williams[00:00:00]

You wear your anger well and stand[00:01:29]

For all the world to see[00:01:35]

A heavy cloak and one gloved hand[00:01:41]

And no humility[00:01:47]

You stand inside the garden[00:01:53]

And feast on black cherries[00:01:59]

And swallow the manna from heaven[00:02:05]

And spit out[00:02:11]

The seeds[00:02:14]

You spread your anger on sharp edged knives[00:02:17]

Cut my skin and make it bleed[00:02:22]

Like pilate in his self righteousness[00:02:28]

You're a traitor[00:02:34]

And a thief[00:02:37]

Choking on your unplanned words[00:02:41]

Coughing up your lies[00:02:47]

Tumbling from your mouth a flurry[00:02:52]

Of broken butterflies[00:02:57]

Broken butterflies[00:03:04]

They rest their wings snapped in two[00:03:08]

On their way to certain death[00:03:16]

Their colors gold an' blue[00:03:21]

But the blood that flows I cannot hide[00:03:27]

The blood that covers me[00:03:33]

Nourishes[00:03:39]

The butterflies[00:03:42]

And they are healed and are set free[00:03:44]

I wish you had[00:03:50]

What Ruth possessed[00:03:53]

But then I don't expect that of you[00:03:56]

Grace and honor and faithfulness[00:04:02]

And the love that you refuse[00:04:08]

Will you ever learn to just forgive[00:04:14]

Will you open your beautiful eyes[00:04:19]

And bleed the way Christ did[00:04:25]

And fix the broken butterflies[00:04:31]
