1.	Chasing Butterflies (Beborn Beton Mix) 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Chasing Butterflies Just like we never did/ Butterflies/ I’ve got the feeling that we’re were just leading ourselves back and more confused/ There is no substitute for the gathered skills we’ll likely never use/ What have we begun?/ What’s left if it’s no fun?/ I always felt outside/ So different to love than to like you/ Chasing Butterflies/ So different to know than to want you/ We had to leave it but it’s like we never did/ Had to believe it but it’s like we never did/ I thought we’d never find out if we weren’t the ones that knew it all before/ That glow confessed the boredom waiting behind this darkness telling more/ Could’ve seen you were my muse/ Could’ve been much less confused/ Could’ve lied here in the dark to find what would happen as our hearts grow true/ We’re the ones with all the noise to just tell you of all our toys already knew/ The ignorance ignored the steps we took off-shore/ ‘Cause we always felt outside chasing butterflies/ Wings before our eyes/ Truth before our eyes

Dead Trees Why does the rain keep falling down on me/ I’m taking shelter under this big tree/ Why does the pain keep striking down on me/ I’m standing here unshielded can’t you see/ It’s the branches/ So empty/ No fruit for me/ You have no leaves/ Why can’t you see the forest through the trees/ That’s not the way this life is supposed to be/ Why don’t you hear this storm will have its say/ I’m watching all our branches break away/ You’re empty/ No good for me / Why can’t we see that you’re no good for me/ Storm has it’s way no shelter here you see/ Outside we hear destruction’s pouring near/ What’s left to blame this pain reflects our fear

Moonshot We took the moon shot/ It all comes back to you / And saw my passion throughThis path is hot/ This plan is not the way I expected to/ The only way forward’s through/ We killed the first thought/ It all turns back on you/ the second only grew/ This hope is lost/ We’ll take the cost/ The only way forward’s through/ Inside you’ll always be burned inside of me/ What is happening now/ I can’t take what you said breached the darkness inside/ Burst out emptying my dread spinning all too fast/ Draining from my head/ Why do I keep falling for the game taking all the blame living just the same/ This left behind you’ll always be/Another trauma still burned inside of me/ Kill the monster inside you’ll always be the burst of trauma still trapped inside of me/ I feel the torture pushing through/ Left inept I can’t take I believed in you/ Who let these wheels spin off so fast racing from the past thinking this would last/ When Did you notice all my cries disaster of surprise opened all our eyes/ Where did this structure fall apart taking all our hearts breaking from the start/ Inside/ I can’t escape the nighttimeYou took it too far/ No turning back now

about

Chiasm releases "Chasing Butterflies" EP feat Mixes by Stabbing Westward, Beborn Beton, and blackcarburning. After releasing her Album "Zone" Chiasm doubles down with their new exciting EP that features a fantastic collection of remixers. Think Electro - Pop meets Industrial!

---

"Chasing Butterflies" is actually the first song I wrote for the "Zone" album, so I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.. it embodies that essence of loneliness and uncertainty and self-expression and hope that can all be a general theme through my music. It feels right in place on the dance floor!!

I like having some variety of styles and additional tracks to make for a refreshing listen, and here we include an incredible mix of "Dead Trees" by Mark Hockings of blackcarburning, and a noise/industrial mix of "Moonshot" by local Detroit artist Steve Anthony of 8om!!

I’m so pleased to have heard from people that have been listening to my music for decades and still finding new Chiasm songs so meaningful to them! I’m excited to continue the journey:)

Thank you, I really appreciate your support!

Take care:)
