lyrics

Milk and Honey Lyrics

Get in before the door locks.
I’m still in shock.
Can’t remember what it feels like
to feel like I’m driving this car.

Feels like a matchbox
got left out for a rat to find
and drag along my heart-tubes
hoping it’ll light up tonight

for the first time in two weeks.

The milk and honey drips down my lips
till I can’t breathe in.
Some confidence would be nice right now
to know we’ll be together someday.

I could tolerate the solitude
till our eyes met in that rumbling stairwell.
Why am I so in love with the idea of you,
When I learned your name through my friends?

An acrobat brags about his trick
but really he’s just scared about falling without a net.
I love my sister she tells me I’m the best
But does it matter if I’m stuck in the shadow of your pedestal?

At least there’s the feeling brought to life
by knowing you exist.
Even if we meet again
I’ll have to throw away this beautiful idea of you.

This dichotomy is closer to my heart than you yet.
This dichotomy is closer to you than my heart yet.
This dichotomy is closer to you than my heart yet.
This dichotomy is closer to you than my heart yet.

about

Big Butterfly San Francisco, California

Welcome to the Big Butterfly ride. Most music is designed for two ears. But Big Butterfly is designed for all six senses of the human experience.

It’s Zach Moses [vocals, guitar, guitarbass, piano, keys, strings, things], Scott Amendola [drums, future sounds], and Adam Nash [guitar, bass, epicness]. It soars for you, for me, for all of us. It needs no genre. It just needs to be heard. ... more
