Poetic Props

I never would have thought that a band as hard as Shinedown could be so poetic, but here is one of those instances where I have to admit that I was wrong. These are some of the most beautiful lyrics that I have heard in a long time, from a band so fresh. Check them out for yourself and while you're at it visit YouTube for the full video experience.

The Crow and the Butterfly

I painted your room at
Midnight, so I'd know
Yesterday was over.
I put all your books
On the top shelf,
Even the one with
The four leaf clover,
Man, I'm getting older.

I took all your pictures
Off the wall and wrapped
Them in a newspaper blanket.
I haven't slept in what seems
Like a century, and now I can
Barely breathe.

[Chorus]

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away,
I guess I was just a little too late.

You're words still serenade me,
Your lullabies won't let me sleep.
I've never heard such a haunting melody.
Oh, it's killing me,
You know I can barely breathe.

[Chorus]

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away,
I guess I was just a little too late.

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away.

Like a crow chasing the butterfly,
Dandelions lost in the summer sky.
When you and I were getting
High as outer space, I never
Thought you'd slip away,
I guess I was just a little too late,
Just a little too late.
