• Butterfly

    You face the day
    Burst through your protective shell
    Invincible, you take your flight
    Enjoy it, for it cannot end well

    Butterfly, your wings are burning
    Butterfly, time keeps turning
    Butterfly, fly away
    Butterfly, it may be your last day

    Oh, the rain, now it starts
    Faster, faster, drip, drip, drip
    Pounding harder, a drowning force
    Through the storm you flutter and flip

    Butterfly, your wings are ripping
    Butterfly, the scales are tipping
    Butterfly, trapped in glass
    Butterfly, I don’t have answers, so don’t ask

    Wicked laughter fills your head
    Vicious smiles are all around
    Fingers grip you, so what now?
    You just crumble without a sound

    Butterfly, your wings are falling
    Butterfly, the earth is calling
    Butterfly, down you go
    Butterfly, it’s your last show

    Now there are no more flowers
    Now there are none left
    Poor thing, your fields are dead
    Just go and join the rest

    Butterfly, your wings are failing
    Butterfly, your life’s derailing
    Butterfly, go ahead and cry
    Butterfly, you were never meant to taste the sky
