Escaping tongues
Darling bitter butterfly, with wings, you chose without
We would repress our colourful features
And not fly without permission
Not fly at all
We hid them away from scornful faces and painful remarks
Our weapon, our escape
Oh they knew and they feared, they tied us down
Time has passed and divided us in two worlds
Darling, bitter butterfly they still see us
When untouchable, let them see us soar
I no longer fear the colours or the strength which wings can have
Doubtful you are, you must move with the wind
Soul mate, never let them keep you
We know their hate, and repeated methods
Burning wings with their tongues
Unfold your wings
Soar with me
Don't stay and rotten,
please
