[Verse]
Stupid streets in a crooked maze
Endless lawns and dull displays
The same faces every day
The same words they always say
[Prechorus]
They clip my wings before I fly
They box me in
They cage my sky
[Chorus]
I’m a moth in this suburban cocoon
Chasing light under a plastic moon
I should be soaring
Breaking the sky
A beautiful butterfly
A butterfly
[Verse 2]
White fences choke the edge of town
Dreams buried deep where no one's around
The air here smells of gasoline
And wasted time on dead routines
[Prechorus]
They tell me stay
They tell me wait
But this small world’s not my fate
[Chorus]
I’m a moth in this suburban cocoon
Chasing light under a plastic moon
I should be soaring
Breaking the sky
A beautiful butterfly
A butterfly
