Black Butterfly

Title: “Black Butterfly” Verse 1 Amanda in the afterglow, Dallas in her veins Lips like a loaded kiss, eyes full of rain Skin full of secrets, hips full of grace Walking through the night like a beautiful mistake Love came counterfeit, touch came crooked Truth got buried in the places no one looked in High-rise dreams in the low-lit ruins Whole life slipping, but she moved like music Pre-Chorus She got that cold flame, velvet danger Sweet face, dark taste, lone ranger Whole room freeze when she switch that angle Fell from heaven, but she still look sacred Chorus She a black butterfly, fresh out the fire Body like sin, but her soul climb higher Came from the dark where the dead lights flicker Now she glow so hard, make the whole world shiver Black butterfly, yeah, she break that curse Bad little thing, but she know her worth From the backseat blues to the front-seat view Now she rise, revive, come alive brand new Post-Chorus / Drop Black butterfly From the blade of the night To the gold of the light She survive, she survive Black butterfly With the tears in her eyes And the stars in her spine She alive, she alive Verse 2 She wore midnight well, like a dress cut clean Heart on mute, but her stare stayed mean Boys wanted pieces, but they never got the portrait Only touched the surface, never saw what the war did Too much smoke, too much chrome, too much static Pretty young thing in a life gone tragic Still somewhere deep in the ache and the damage A goddess was asleep in the girl they called vanished Pre-Chorus 2 Now she move like she know who she is though Slow burn, soft curves, eyes like a pistol Everybody wants in when the glow get visible But nobody felt what it took to rebuild Chorus She a black butterfly, fresh out the fire Body like sin, but her soul climb higher Came from the dark where the dead lights flicker Now she glow so hard, make the whole world shiver Black butterfly, yeah, she break that curse Bad little thing, but she know her worth From the backseat blues to the front-seat view Now she rise, revive, come alive brand new Bridge Let the old world choke on the smoke she left Let the pain fall off with her last deep breath She was built in the dark, now she dress in the dawn Every scar got a pulse, every wound turned on No more hollow men, no more borrowed thrill No more cheap love high that can’t hold her still Now she wear her name like a crown, like silk And she walk out the ashes in black high heels Final Chorus She a black butterfly, bite in her kiss Came up from the abyss looking fine like this Whole lotta pain turned glamour on her skin Now she dance with the light where the dark had been Black butterfly, and she bad, no lie Came close to the edge, now she kiss the sky Got a past so deep, but a glow so new When Amanda walk in, make the whole room move
