as free as butterfly

Lyrics by Masaki
Music by Crystal Eye's
with a closed off smile like ice you continue to persecute me for my crimes
silently I take on your unspoken words
the light that I yearn for from inside this cage changes to a shadow that shuts out the sky
the faint scent that hangs in the air will soon lead me to the scene of that distant day
I cannot return to the day that embraces me so tightly that I can't breathe, and so
now I just flit and fly from flower to flower
I entrust this body to a wavering moment in the wind
a thorn has left behind a deep scar that won't fade
the petals that dance, scattering in this short night are dyed the colour of sorrow
in the depths of despair I grew wings and flew away* seeking radiance
- as free as butterfly -
don't forgive me in the flow of time
close your eyes in this room without sound
you live in a fragment of memory all I see in an illusion...
my heart wavers beyond the flapping of my wings I'm leaving the tragedy behind
my crimes pierce deeply through you
eyes drenched with sorrow are dyed a vivid hue
even the person I lost is gone I embrace my withered, dead heart...
* the word Masaki uses here is something like emerging from a chrysalis, the way a butterfly does -- I thought this was the best way to describe it. ^_^
