• I see it's beautiful wings
    so identical to eachother
    It's hard to imagine what it brings
    when they are so close to one another

    It flys so high in the sky
    so pure and free on it's own whim
    I stare, sadness in the eye
    I know very well that it's sin

    {chorus}
    As it flys away from my grasp
    no longer for me to reach it
    I ask myself why can't I?
    Why can I not fly
    like the butterfly..?

    As I walk down the the opened street
    no one looks
    not ever at me
    I am invisable to everyone
    my wings are torn like a shading sun

    filthy, dirty, living in lies
    crying, lonely, nobody looks
    I can be just as good
    give me a chance
    dreams broken youth

    {choruse x2}

    Why can I not fly
    Why can I not speak
    Why can I not cry
    Why do you continue on
    Why do you breath in deep
    the words of the butterfly

    {chorus}
