Ever smelt your pride burning in the pyre?
That horrid stench is too familiar
Smoke’s stinging my eyes
The cremated pages of my life glide into the ether
I’m quite traumatised but I think I’ll be fine
Through all this, I’ll metamorphosise
Been spending too long on the ground
This time, no one will clip the wings of this butterfly
Can you rewrite a legacy?
Maybe I'll give it a try
What if there’s a way to obtain beauty from this pain?
Would that be the end of the world?
I’m quite traumatised but I think I’ll be fine
Through all this, I’ll metamorphosise
Been spending too long on the ground
This time, no one will clip the wings of this butterfly
Harmony
Now once more, with dignity
Vibrant, technicolour memories
The moral of this tale
If you set yourself up to fail, sparkle fades to grayscale
Rise
From the doldrums and breathe new life
I haven’t started yet
With enough time we will see revealed silver linings
What good is creativity
(Breathe new life!)
(Breathe new life!)
Devoid of integrity?
Just senseless swirls and cacophony
Empty of significance
"Fool me once..."
I’m quite traumatised but I think I’ll be fine
Through all this, I’ll metamorphosise
Been spending too long on the ground
This time, no one will clip the wings of this butterfly
From this chrysalis revitalised
Won’t take it as it comes

Damage is done, yes
But that was just Chapter One
Stunned into silence but I’m now speaking my truth
The past can’t be undone, but my present is futureproof
The past can’t be undone, but my present is futureproof
The past can’t be undone, but my present is futureproof
I know that through all this, I’ll metamorphosise
Quite traumatised, but I think I’ll be fine
