I'm a butterfly
My ribcage are my wings
One day I'm gonna open them
And fly out from within

I'm a butterfly
My flesh is a cocoon
It constricts my restless soul
It is made of flesh and dense bone

If I could I'd leave it
Strip down to my raw essence
And join you wherever you are
In that cold good night

I'd smother my lungs
Inhale the earth
As my soul rises
To embrace yours

However I'm crippled by life
A butterfly with broken wings
I'm stuck in my cocoon
Forced to live and suffer

But I'm a butterfly
My ribcage are my wings
One day I'm gonna open them
And fly out from within.
