what am i?   i wish i was a butterfly    i'd fly and fly   until it was my time to die   it's creeping in again   i know what i really am   no more pretty, purple,   peaceful butterfly      simple life   if i were a butterfly   i'd fly and fly   until it was my time to die   its creeping in again   i know what i really am   no more pretty, purple,   peaceful butterfly      come see the blood    that's in my bed   come hear the things   that nobody talks about   shut up you mouth   shame on you shame on me      look at me   i wish i was a honey bee   anything, anything other than   the things i have been   i slip out of my skin   so i don't have to do it again   but just a passing thought   and your filth is seeping in      come scrub my hands   they won't come clean   come sit with me   while the walls press in on me   shut off that light   shame on you. shame on me.
