Butterflies


The life after death 

Metamorphosing

Spirits of the past life

Guide me with your wings 

Take me to Zion 

The pinnacle of your light 

 I stand in your shadows 

Afraid 

I am not worthy 

To live a life wanted 

Fumbling my body around 

My being lie passageway 

Blood, skin and bones 

Disregarded 

Thrown away 

When the light shines 

They run like roach 

Rampant and free 

I stand in my light 

Alone 

Carrying on 

Thriving in my fight 

Spread my wings 

I take you in 

Lie vessel to your sin 

Broken, beaten and beautiful 

I take you in 

My butterfly 

Please guide me to better days 

To not feel this way 

Bring me to this monolith

Allow me to rest my soul 

Feed off your light 

My life after death
