I've chased the butterfly
I've chased the pain away
Now i can rectify
To build my own gateway
My mind they stop running
I can now sit and say
My mind they chose to stay
I say no more running
At times I am slipping
On this slippery way
Slipping again from you
And no one catching me
Each fall i fell deeper
Each fall I am scattered
i had to hoard and build
My decaying body
Using words and my tears
Each fall took my perfection away
Broken but they work anyway
If not, eventually
They'll work
My body,
They'll work
If not now
Eventually.

I've chased the butterfly
I've chased the pain away
Now i can rectify
To build my own gateway
My mind they stop running
I can now sit and say
My mind they chose to stay
I say no more running
At times I am slipping
On this slippery way
Slipping again from you
And no one catching me
Each fall i fell deeper
Each fall I am scattered
i had to hoard and build
My decaying body
Using words and my tears
Each fall took my perfection away
Broken but they work anyway
If not, eventually
They'll work
My body,
They'll work
If not now
Eventually.
