Butterfly

Never felt so old
So ready to fold it all down
So at home on the cold, hard ground
I'm not chasing Sun no more

How I love that light
But it don't help when the nights get long
I'm too tired to right all the wrongs
I must have done to end up so far gone

But my sweet friend, the angel
You float in on the wind
Tell me this is not the end

And you say, you say, you say
That I just got to play this game and I'll leave it alive
And someday, someday, someday
I'll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie
You gotta die awhile to come back a butterfly

When it comes to change
All I know is to rage against
It don't matter the cage I'm in
Still feels like a home to me

But then the rain comes down
And I'm afraid that I'll drown in here
I cover my head, but it's loud and clear
There's only one way out

Oh, cruel world, you break me
Out of all my shells
I guess you know me well

And you say, you say, you say
That I just got to play this game and I'll leave it alive
And someday, someday, someday
I'll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie
You gotta die awhile to come back a butterfly

Oh, my soul, I feel you
Reaching for the wind
Longing to begin again
Butterfly
