Butterfly, butterfly your wings scatter
Into the night, on a pale sharp knife,
you dance, dance, brittle
The rime on the frozen world,
outside the window glittlers
You’re trapped, trapped,
Butterfly, dancing on the edge of a knife
Tiny wings, they slither,
Along the blades, they wither
Butterfly, butterfly a cry out in pain,
Under the night, into the great black sky,
Your screams are swallowed, butterfly
The knife is sharp, it slices you apart
Dancing, dancing, your heart pounding,
Butterfly, butterfly in the dark
Keep on dancing, even though,
You have fallen apart.
