Where the Butterflies Turn Black
Close your eyes, the night is calling
Through a world where stars are falling
Little wings of pink and gold
Lead me somewhere strange and old
Every time I fall asleep
There's another world beneath
Strange horizons, skies unknown
Never a place to call my own
Pink-winged wishes fill the air
Fragile dreams are everywhere
I follow where the petals fly
Beneath a painted, sleeping sky
But something moves beneath the light
The flowers close, the stars lose sight
A crooked shadow stains the blue
And suddenly, the world feels new
Where the butterflies turn black
There's no easy turning back
Velvet wings and liquid skies
Hide the fear behind their eyes
I will find where it began
Trace the cracks with trembling hands
Through the dream and through the dark
Where the butterflies turn black
The walls are breathing, trees have eyes
The ground rewrites its own design
Blackened wings begin to crawl
Something's waiting past it all
Little footsteps by my side
Keep me tethered through the night
When the world forgets what's real
You're the one thing I can feel
I never asked to cross these skies
Or wear the fear behind their eyes
I only seek the breaking thread
Before the dream consumes what's left
Where the butterflies turn black
There's no easy turning back
Velvet wings and liquid skies
Hide the fear behind their eyes
I will find where it began
Trace the cracks with trembling hands
Through the dream and through the dark
Where the butterflies turn black
Am I awake? Am I asleep?
How many worlds are left to keep?
I've walked through dreams that weren't my own
And still have never found my home
If every dream must fade away
What will be left of me someday?
A thousand doors, a thousand skies
And not one place where I reside
Where the butterflies turn black
I keep searching through the cracks
Even when the light has died
I won't leave the lost behind
Every dream and every scar
Every world, no matter how far
I'll keep walking through the dark
Where the butterflies turn black
Close your eyes, the night is deep
Someone else's dream awaits me
But somewhere there's a dream unknown...
A dream that never calls me home.
