Butterfly - Ballad (Song)

Описание: [Verse 1]
Dying like this on the water,
With fragile paper wings that falter.
Just floating after flying high,
Lost beneath a quiet sky.
Your colors fade, no need to ask,
No searching left, you drop the mask.
Forever resting, soft and still,
With flowers kissed against your will.
Scents you once knew drift away,
You forget the world, you gently sway.
Back and forth upon the tide,
Dying on the water, wings spread wide.

[Chorus]
Like a butterfly that still can fly,
Upward to the endless blue sky.
Like a butterfly, forever free,
Always running away from me.
I want to die upon the sea,
But that’s a thought for later, maybe.
I want to fly like butterflies do,
Swaying on petals, morning dew.

[Verse 2]
But I can’t rise that high today,
So I only fly in dreams that sway.
I drift through sleep, I run from life,
Escaping pain, escaping strife.
Like a butterfly I try to be,
Chasing skies that won’t take me.
I thought that living meant to say,
“You should be a butterfly someday.”

[Bridge]
Fly far away from all the pain,
From every loss, from every chain.
Leave behind the weight of breath,
Leave behind the fear of death.

[Verse 3]
But I’m no longer jealous now,
Of fragile wings I can’t allow.
If even butterflies must die,
I won’t let sorrow pass me by.
I can live without the air,
Without the flight I never share.
What should I give, what should I be,
For the butterfly that drowned in me?

[Outro]
To live, I know, I finally see,
I don’t need wings to simply be.
I don’t need flight, I don’t need skies,
I don’t need borrowed butterfly eyes.
To live is enough — I’m finally free,
I don’t need to be a butterfly anymore, just me.
