jake walters - butterflycrab lyrics

[verse 1]
emerging from a cocoon, the b+tterfly is sticky and wet
an ugly truth is change, and it never comes without pain
crawling from the sea, the crab is exposed and heavy
inescapable is transformation, but not without hesitation

[chorus 1]
the mother screams as she births her babe
and then, she cries as she cradles that love she made
the child moans as he buries his authors
but, then comes home to raise his daughters

[verse 2]
nectar from colored buds, the b+tterfly mutualizes
intoxicating to pollinate, yet, exhausted by the end of the day

[chorus 2]
the child grows, and becomes a man
and, even though it is hard, he tries as hard as he can
like a b+tterfly, he never stops flying
and, like a crab, he always feels like he’s fighting

[bridge]
fickle+minded is a man who never wins
but, never invalidated by shortcomings or sins
and, if a simple touch could heal his wounds
imagine the wonders an embrace would do
strong and brave is the woman who lives
locomotion fueled by the fire within
absolved by a bow and a loving kin
then, the dance begins all over again
[chorus 3]
the body fades as it collects its age
and then, it dies, and on top of the skull, we build a brand new stage
the spirit sighs as it holds its lover
and then, goes home to guide another
