The Butterfly Ticks On

[Verse] All on its own it begins in a cocoon It senses the sunlight so it just wants to bloom To hide from the thunder the predator's storm It dreams of warm sunbeams our afraid newborn [Verse 2] It hatches spreads its wings fully stretched to fly Down by the lemon trees up in ink black skies On white flowers branches the ended genesis Too little momentary temporary bliss [Verse 3] The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again [Chorus] The butterfly ticks on As the butterfly ticks on As the butterfly ticks on As the butterfly ticks on As the butterfly ticks on As the butterfly ticks As the butterfly ticks As the butterfly ticks As the butterfly ticks on [Verse 4] They're the same upside down Running in mazes and they're all tied down They spend their days counting the sheep around But all of their ideas lie all on the ground Dissolved into the clouds [Verse 5] The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again The time flies fast the light fades black The cycle restarts it spins its giant wheel again
