Verse 1 – Slow Build / Clean + Distorted Blend]
Twenty years of silence,
Buried screams behind these eyes.
Watching all their laughter —
While my soul slowly dies.
Butterflies surround me,
Blinding out the light,
Can’t shake this feeling —
Something’s not right!
(Chug riff, building intensity)
⸻
[Chorus – Full Power / Distorted Vocals]
BUTTERFLIES! — BUTTERFLIES!
Why won’t you set me free?!
I’m trapped in my own fucking dream,
Can’t find this goddamn key!
Everyone’s so happy —
While I’m breaking in the dark!
Scared to trust, scared to love,
Scared to leave my mark!
⸻
[Verse 2 – Driving Rhythm / Harsh Vocals]
Lost in a world of shadows,
Haunted by my fears,
Smiling for the masses,
While I drown in my tears.
Butterflies keep whispering,
Their voices in my head:
“Don’t let them see your pain —
Or you’re better off dead!”
⸻
[Chorus – Heavier, Faster, Layered Screams]
BUTTERFLIES! — BUTTERFLIES!
Why won’t you set me free?!
Trapped inside this mind of mine,
Can’t find the key!
They laugh in daylight —
While I rot in the dark,
Scared to trust, scared to love,
Scared to leave my mark!
⸻
[Bridge – Slow, Melodic Breakdown / Clean Vocals → Scream]
(Clean guitars / atmospheric)
I long to break free,
From this cocoon of doubt…
To spread my wings and fly —
To let my true self out!
(Drums build — heavy riff kicks in)
But the butterflies linger…
Their whispers turn to shouts!
CHAINED IN MY MIND!
I CAN’T — BREAK — OUT!
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full Instrumental Fury]
BUTTERFLIES! — BUTTERFLIES!
Why won’t you set me free?!
I’m trapped inside my mind,
Can’t find the key!
Everyone’s so happy —
But I’m bleeding in the dark!
Scared to trust, scared to love,
SCARRED — TO LEAVE MY MARK!
⸻
[Outro – Breakdown / Final Line Growl]
(Guitar chugs drop low — slow tempo)
Butterflies…
Whisper lies…
Until I burn them alive. 🔥
