Breaking my heart over your knees
Like you I don't give up that easily
Tearing your frown with laughter when you cry
Wake up my sister
Don't even waste my time

'Cause I am
I am the one who gave you your name
No one, no one
Can dance over your faith
Aiming for the pennies down the wishing well
Soaring through the dreadful red sky

You black wing butterfly

Halo of lights
Running in your dirty hands
Waiting for me to waste my only chance
Reflected in a mirror I broke long ago
Anger just builds up but it
Never seems to make the show

'Cause I am
I am the one who gave you your name
And no one, no one
Can dance over your faith
Aiming for the pennies down the wishing well
Soaring through the dreadful red sky

You black wing butterfly

Pushing my love to the brink of extinction
Crippled by my innocence
Cutting my tongue off
I can't say her name
There's no one to blame

Waiting for nothing in the final days
Playing the game that no one will ever win

Aiming for the pennies down the wishing well
Soaring through the dreadful red sky

You black wing butterfly
