welcome to shmau's world
 

butterflies and rabbits

Look what you’ve done to her
To a flower-picking child
With a single spell you changed skin into glass
Her heart was screaming
You may say you didn’t know
But each time you entered the empire
Close your eyes child
Close your eyes
And don‘t listen when earth cries

And now?
Butterflies and rabbits
Little red riding hood hide when the big wolf comes
And now?
Butterflies ain’t suffering
One of her magical games when she needed someone

Look what you’ve done to it
To a loving smiling soul
With a well-faked fist
You stroke it into lonelyness
Do you remember
Do you remember her?
The girl who loved to play?
But the game you chose
Wasn’t made to make her laugh

And now?
Butterflies and rabbits
Little red riding hood hide when the big wolf comes
And now?
Butterflies ain’t suffering
One of her magical games when she needed just love
