Butterfly

Fall to your knees
And they'll overlook you
Play along, they’ll move
Onto somebody new
Save your complaints
‘Til they’re gone and won’t hear
They’ll turn out the lights
But you won’t disappear

You used to fly so high, so high
Can’t help but wonder why

Butterfly, you’re beautiful
You deserve your own picture frame
Butterfly, you’re delicate
It would be such a shame if you were to break
Butterfly, you’re valuable
They’ll take you home, they’ll keep you safe
Formaldehyde ensures that you will stay the same

Studying, magnifying what makes you tick
Asking the questions that make you feel sick
You don’t know how it ever went this far
Running in circles to stay where you are

You used to fly so high, so high
Or was that just the lie?

Butterfly, you’re beautiful
You deserve your own picture frame
Butterfly, you’re delicate
It would be such a shame if you were to break
Butterfly, you’re valuable
They’ll take you home, they’ll keep you safe
Formaldehyde ensures that you will stay the same

Butterfly, you’re beautiful
You deserve your own picture frame
Butterfly, you’re delicate
It would be such a shame if you were to break
Butterfly, they’ll wound you and keep you
Safely locked away
Formaldehyde ensures that you will stay the same
