Beating wings of the caged butterfly With powder so perfect and clean Tears begin to stain my wings Don't smother my veins I need some time to evolve Shed my layers Gathering the strength I will need   I'm becoming speckled with shades of green If only you could see He unobtrusively empties my grace I try not to encur his madness I do have eyes I can see I'm heading north I will not be returning in the fall My fragile body will soar soon Swaying in the powder blue sky Drinking sweet nectar In circles I begin to glide Dreaming of escaping this space The freedom was always there I know it's not right I return My essence is splintered  can't you see

Beating Wings Of The Caged Butterfly
Beating wings of the caged butterfly With powder so perfect and clean Tears begin to stain my wings Don't smother my veins I need some time to evolve Shed my layers Gathering the strength I will need   I'm becoming speckled with shades of green If only you could see He unobtrusively empties my grace I try not to encur his madness I do have eyes I can see I'm heading north I will not be returning in the fall My fragile body will soar soon Swaying in the powder blue sky Drinking sweet nectar In circles I begin to glide Dreaming of escaping this space The freedom was always there I know it's not right I return My essence is splintered  can't you see
