lyrics

The diving bell and the butterfly
200,000 blinks of one eye
I’ll write you a book
And you’ll take one look
And put it back onto the shelf

I stopped when I saw you that morning
A whole world was held in your eyes
It poured back and forth
Once or twice
The gravity of your light

It’s not true what they told you
Love won’t make you kind
There it was just a moment
(There it was just a moment)
The opposite of blind
Blind
Blind

The diving bell and the butterfly (glock comes in)
Your green eyes were sending out light
I wait for your glance
And wait for the chance
To decipher the code of the night

It’s not true what they told you
(It’s not true what they told you)
Your heart can’t change your mind
Honesty can’t unfold you
(Honesty it can close you)
It holds you back and --

You with your head to the sky
You with your unblinking eyes

You watch me fall but don’t reach for my hand
A symphony crash and a castle of sand
You watch me fall but don’t reach for my hand
A symphony crash and a castle of sand
You watch me fall but don’t reach for my hand
A symphony crash and a castle of sand

The diving bell and the butterfly
200,000 blinks of one eye
I wrote you a book
And you took one look
And put it back onto the shelf
