Butterfly

Fiction garden as you're burning,
Sudden motion.
Reastoring kind electric,
Falling under cloudy sky,
Running past the way,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly.
Can you hear dying butterfly, falling nightmare?
As you see
Reastoring kind electric,
As you hear the unknown cry,
Keep the motion on the floor,
These are butterfly, butter, butterfly,
Butter, butterfly, butter, butterfly,
Butter, butterfly.
Over years I hear a wonder,
Watching as you're under,
Screaming as the dust is growing,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly.
I can hear your motion round,
Crashing with your sound,
Flying underground, come on, come on, come on,
Butter, butterfly,
Come on, come on, come on, butterfly,
Come on, come on, come on, butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, he can't fly,
As I hear you're coming back home again,
Dying, dying butterfly, dying, dying butterfly,
Dying, dying butterfly, dying, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly.
Dying butterfly never dies, never dies,
Dying butterfly never dies, never dies,
Dying butterfly never dies, never dies.
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, you can't die
Walking 'cross the sky alright,
As you hear her turn around
And you see she hears your sound,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, die!
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butter, butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her, oh yes, see her,
You can see her, oh yes, see her,
You can see her, oh yes, see her,
Butter, butterfly, you can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her
As you're flying across the sky.
Gonna die,
Dying butterfly, gonna die,
You can see her fly, you can see her fly,
You can see her fly, you can see her fly,
You can, you can see her fly,
You can see her, you can fly,
You can see her die, die, die, die, die.
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
You can see her flying high
As she sees herself, say goodbye.
You can see her fly, goodbye,
You can see her screaming "butterfly",
Butterfly, butter, butter, butter,
Butter, butter, butter, butter,
Butter, butter, butter, butter,
Fly, fly, fly, fly,
Fly, fly, fly, fly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,

You can, you can see her fly,
Butterfly.
