Butterfly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Spare me the night trampled upon by submission
A mask within one's own inhibition
Where the only prohibition is love
Spare me the night trampled upon by submission
A mask within one's own inhibition
Where the only prohibition is love
Love
Children out cry, grandfather sky
Rivers surviving through our eyes
We certify, how you falsify
The beauty of a moth turned butterfly, butterfly
Spare me the night trampled upon by submission
A mask within one's own inhibition
Where the only prohibition is love
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicions
We are being sodomized by repetitions
Oceans calcified, eagles gratified
I won't be crucified nor terrified, I'm not terrified
Before we say goodbye, no need to falsify
The beauty of a moth turned butterfly, butterfly
Spare me the night trampled upon by submission
A mask within one's own inhibition
Where the only prohibition is love
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicions
We are being sodomized by repetitions
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicion
We are being sodomized by repetition
Dark gray matter of fact sky
Nannies are nights with our half sister moon
Why can't we switch automatically to eco-centric persuasions?
Why can't we ditch autocracy for eco-centric persuasions now?
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicions
We are being sodomized by repetition
We are being sacrificed by our own suspicions
We are being sodomized by repetition
