Butterfly Suicide - Psalm

Please, don’t take my innocence away

Peel my heart from its youth

Expose it to love, expose it to hate, the worse enemies of happiness.

Expose it to hope, expose it to fear, the worse enemies of forgiveness.

Don’t show your frightening wounds

Closure of harmlessness

Poor fool, you can’t turn back time.

Sad wings of destiny

The butterfly is dying inside

He’s cripple, he’s old, he can’t fly no more

The crows are growing inside

They’re black, they’re vicious, they’re rotten to the core

Brutal transition

Open his eyes, youth is now obsolete

Helpless, youthfulness

He’ll soon be life’s pitiful apprentice

I don’t want to become like them, you hear me?

I can’t be like them, I’m a better man!

I’m so scared of the man I’ll destroy, I’ll become

So scared of pain I will cause to others

You want me to forget my past

You’re telling me

How to grow up

How to fit right in

This forsaken world

How to crush me

Annihilate me

Butterfly suicide

Butterfly suicide

I can’t believe you

— You can’t avoid me

I just despise you

— You are here with me

I’m not a scapegoat

— Don't be your saviour

I cannot trust you

— But I will rule you too

Paying the highest

Toll of what man can

Pay in such a short

Notice of time, why?

Can’t you see why

My desperate cries

Can’t be held down?

It is eating me alive

Why can’t the butterfly just die inside?
