Crawling through the dirt, heavy carbon veins Eating up the leaves, chained inside these chains Dark cocoon wrapping tight, pressure in the night Dissolving who I was, losing form and fight Pre-Chorus Every cell is breaking, rearranging in the flame Old skin falling off me, calling out my name Chorus (The Hook) From caterpillar crawl to butterfly flight Carbon body burning, turning into light Crystalline and glowing, weightless in the sky I spread my wings and shimmer — watch the old me die Oh-oh-oh, crystal wings arise Oh-oh-oh, I’m lighter than the skies From the dirt to divine, watch the beauty multiply Carbon to crystal — butterfly, butterfly! Verse 2 No more dragging low, gravity let go Prisms in my veins where the heavy used to flow Rainbow light refracting, every fracture healed What was dense and dying now forever revealed Pre-Chorus Feel the vibration rising, frequency so high Old form left behind me, new one learns to fly Chorus (The Hook) From caterpillar crawl to butterfly flight Carbon body burning, turning into light Crystalline and glowing, weightless in the sky I spread my wings and shimmer — watch the old me die Oh-oh-oh, crystal wings arise Oh-oh-oh, I’m lighter than the skies From the dirt to divine, watch the beauty multiply Carbon to crystal — butterfly, butterfly! Bridge (half-time, intimate then building) In the silence of the chrysalis, I faced the dark alone Every fear, every limit, turned to dust and bone Now the light is pouring through me, no more cage, no more stone I am reborn, I am the unknown… Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals) From caterpillar crawl to butterfly flight Carbon body burning, turning into light Crystalline and glowing, weightless in the sky I spread my wings and shimmer — this is who am I! Oh-oh-oh, crystal wings arise Oh-oh-oh, forever in the skies From the dirt to divine, let the whole world testify Carbon to crystal — butterfly, butterfly!
