Wasp and the Butterfly

from Fading Fast by Garret Baker & The Random Nouns

/

lyrics

Oh wasp and the butterfly
Why are you entwined?
Don't you know you both must die
If you can't find flight

Beuty beats its wings
Pain it drives a sting
Neither one can win
And death is all they bring

A girl on James's st
In vain she seeks out change
Her body is broken down
Her eyes they hold no shame

And she longs for flight
As day gives way to night
She closes clouded eyes
And sings a lullaby

Oh wasp and the butterfly
Won't you let me go?
I do not want to die
Won't you let me know
Why you must be entwined
When death is all you bring?
And if you pass her by
You will hear her sing

As beauty beats its wings
Pain it drives a sting
Neither one can win
And death is all they bring

Oh wasp and the butterfly
Why are you entwined?
If one would let the other go
You could both find flight
