I was a child when I was clipped,
swallowing indignity to garner praise.
Gutted like a beast, gutted like a beast, gutted like a beast.
Now I unveil my anger on a whim,
back then, back then I must have been a sleep, I must have been asleep.
Oh, lost love, no love lost.
Butterflys cannot thrive
they only die in the belly of the beast.
Now I will admit:
The fear of what I’m becoming haunts me, always,
it haunts me, oh.
I was a child when I was clipped, and I will admit it was difficult,
to push beyond the cynical.
Oh, lost love, no love lost.
Butterflys cannot thrive
they only die in the belly of the beast.
Yeah, I will admit:
The fear of what I’m becoming haunts me, always,
it haunts me, oh.
I was a child when I was clipped, and I will admit it was difficult,
to push beyond the cynical.
