• Bitter little butterfly
    fleeting like my hopes
    flying towards the cruel cruel truth
    Beaten by reality

    Frail wings try hard to stay alive
    Try to fight the rising odds
    But fail miserably in every attempt
    Beaten by reality

    The little butterfly is miserable
    and drowning in it's depression
    it's life is just a downwhirl spiral because it was
    beaten by reality

    Stupid little butterfly
    Did you not know?
    That nothing good happens in this world when
    Beaten by reality

    Stupid little butterfly
    It's common sense you know
    Just stop trying and give up cuz you've been
    beaten by reality

    When life is feeling great
    and you think you got it good
    You look around the corner and you get
    beaten by reality

    So now, like the butterfly
    I lay in broken wings
    Depression washing over me
    from too many broken things

    Hopes and dreams of something more
    Keep taunting up above
    and something is always missing because I've been
    Beaten by reality
