Butterfly Wings

about

No caterpillars or butterflies were harmed in the making of this track. However, at least one heart was broken.

lyrics

When the caterpillar dreams of sleeping
She folds herself into herself
And all she wants whilst she is dreaming
Is to become what she imagines
A butterfly to be

Cigarettes, pills and potions
There's a baby coming up from the ocean
She didn't ask for this, neither did he
It's not exactly what they imagined
Their butterflies would be

But he remembers all the times they didn't try
The spiteful words that always made him cry

Now her baby dreams of summers gone
And how his doom was sealed by fate
They should have given him away
To follow his path down to the gate
Where the butterfly will be

Butterfly wings
Burn like paper
