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
