Brandon Dailey - The Butterfly Effect (Audio)

My first time experimenting with raw, guitar driven heavy energy. I've always been naturally enthralled by heavy music but never been able to make any that I felt was enjoyable. I think the societal imagery I tried to convey can come off as edgy emo suicidal glorification, but it is most definitely not a song advertising self-harm or suicide. This was written right around the time the second season of "13 Reasons Why" was released and had a chokehold on the world.
LYRICS
We all want to be in the spotlight
We'd do anything to be just right
Everyone around us wants to die
And they don't know how we feel inside
She saw the cuts on her wrist on TV
And thought it was okay to copy
They all want to be just like she is
So they do it to feed the insecurity
We all want to be in the spotlight
We'd do anything to be just right
Everyone around us wants to die
And they don't know how we feel inside
He saw the gun to his head on TV
And knew right then that he wanted to copy
But now he's lying on the floor
And soon there will be many more
We're all butterflies
Wash it off and act like it never happened
And we'll say that today is more than that is.
