Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
The pressure up the side
Through space and throughout time
As earthlings compromise
Can't choose, so now you're on the D-side, goodbye
In the bucket
Lies a boulder
A weight that's bearing
A grizzly horror
And when you look back
Over your shoulder
Nothing to smolder
It's all gone
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Some days we grow
Some days we die
The future's told
A glassy eye
When we're not sposed
To hear it why
Did we open
Our mouths tonight
So flip me up and pour me out
This garden holds a water spout
I'll be full no matter how
Many cracks to me are dealt
When halves are half and past is past
Pressure takes diamonds through Hell to get back
Cursed be the name of the pieces of trash
Til the keepers come digging, see hope in the wrath
I can't decide which side am I
If blood gives sight, why am I blind
Been good, I swear, for half my life
That's relative, cause family bites
In the water
Where it's colder
A shiver spreads from
A broken shoulder
Proportions out of
Their blowing order
Cause nothing's okay
When you tell yourself that
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Would you walk across the water
If they said it'd make you smarter
Drown in depth to feed your daughter
And make your father proud
Why not stand aside the gunner
Press the trigger cause you wanna
Drink the power in the summer
Enjoy the heat you're shedding down
Would you walk across the water
If they said it'd get you farther
Spread your wings with ease of butter
Not quick enough, then you will drown
So I ran, then I sprinted
From my superstition
The people were watching
And nobody walked in
I laid in a coffin
With eyelids of blockage
'Til realization
That I had to stop him
That was me
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Butterflies
Run the line
Looking back
Eyes looking for them
Butterflies run the line
Oh
Oh ooh ah ay ya ah
Oh ooh ah ay ya
Oh ooh ah ay ya
Hey aye ay
Oh ooh ah ay yah
Oh ooh ah ay yah
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh ah ay
So my name's Carter Costello
I was born in a bathtub on Mulberry Street in Rochester, New York
And before I turned two, my parents came to Seattle
There were many other places they could've gone, uh
And I was talking to them earlier tonight about that
Some town in Arizona
Umm
Aberdeen, Washington
And probably a few other places
And somehow, they decided Seattle
And I'm very grateful for that
But also, I wonder, of course
What would've happened
You know, what it would be like if we had gone somewhere else
Umm, and would I be similar to the person I am now
Umm, like was my growth dependent on who my parents were, or um, or not
I, um, made this project, in part
You know, on Thomas Hodek's beats
And, um
I'm hoping this is gonna be the last project, maybe with some exceptions, that I release with, uh, that being the case
I want to make music that is more fully me
And I've found that with this next project that I've been working on
Um, I don't know the name of it yet, but it has a really killer song on it, called Everything Is Turning Green
And that one's about a state in life where you're looking back on everything that you've prioritized
And you realize that you've been doing it all wrong
Um, like prioritizing money over family is kinda the surface level/basic idea of it
I'm excited for that
And, um, and what else I've been doing recently
Musically, and just within myself
So, I, uh, spur of the moment
Before releasing this, thought that I would add a minute gap after this last track on the project, Butterflyez
Um, which I do love
But you know, this is actually written by Nicholas Ogum
A dear childhood friend of mine
And, um, and y-uh, it wasn't written by him, he, he came up with the hook
I did the rest
But shoutout to Nick for doing the hook on that
Um, because I love it
And it-there's so much meaning that can be found in those few words
Um, that I'll kinda bounce back and forth between in my head
Uh, like what 'butterflies running the line' looks like
What does that mean
And that's for you to figure out
Whoever's listening to this
Ohh, anyways
I hope you all have an amazing evening
I do, I really do
Hope you have an amazing evening
And, um, I hope you enjoyed the project
And if you're still listening to this right now
What the f*ck are you doing
Go do something else
Go say hi to your family
Blood, or not
You know
Alright
Peace out
