BUTTERFLY

You're like a butterfly

So beautiful you hold people's stare

Even when you move, they don't care

Can't look away, they're so drawn in

Nobody's expecting real depth within

​

And just like a butterfly

They want to catch you, they can't resist

To try to hold you tight in their fist

But you don't want that, so you refuse

'Cause you've had enough of such abuse

​

You got the money, got the style

Charming everyone with that smile

Even though you're on the runway scene

And they put you up on billboard screens

You don't want to be seen for the sexual

But for your true self, the intellectual

​

You bought dozens of butterflies

To glue them behind glasses framed

Hanging them on your wall, all tamed

To look at their beauty preserved

So finally you're the one to observe

​

Fluttering around me on the dancefloor

You said you felt my inner fire

Became irritated by your own desire

The soft boy with the sad eyes' gleam

And the little nervous laughs in between

​

You got the money, got the style

Charming everyone with that smile

Even though you're on the runway scene

And they put you up on billboard screens

You don't want to be seen for the sexual

But for your true self, the intellectual

​

Then when you wrapped your wings

Around me and my heartstrings

My mouth dry from the wine

Your body so close to mine

Your tips caressing me tender

What can I do, I surrender

To kiss that most beautiful face

And touch your body at your pace

To truly sense your beauty

- And not just look at it
