Butterfly Stickers

Seems like cozy words won't make a fire when it's winter Neither will my hopes and dreams, though people say I'm a winner The only one who stood by me has dragged me down again I'm lying naked on the bed with a parallel universe in my brain I adore myself, but I couldn't have my ingrown nail fixed before it bled I used to be so used to feeling pain Now I understand life's still ahead (Think about it) There are butterfly stickers On the shower stall They won't fly, they won't move But they're super special Anxiety sucks, so does my self-esteem I'm avoiding the mirror Can't believe I look so good when I'm not aware of it But all of a sudden I come across a Greek God on Twitter Wait, wait, he's Brazilian My tears have kissed a thousand pictures I'm emotional, that is, I'm dumb I'd go around craving for stickers Now I am here gracefully alone And I'm a shy boy, I miss important events Can't even verbalize my sentiments So I resort to bothering my friends (My friends) Folks may wanna send me to the gym Love it as much as sparkling water (I hate it) I pretend I'm on to things But I would lock me in a drawer I'm about to explode If I go missing, will I turn gold? And I'd rather be lost in youthful words For I love my way of getting old Maybe I'm my own remedy I'm the lover I'm looking for Won't let the chaos sink in Won't hide my heart in the dark There are butterfly stickers On the shower stall They won't fly, they won't move But they're super special Sometimes they fall But then we stick 'em again
