caterpillar hides away
dies inside a chrysalis
transformation is mostly decay
an end before the new
whatever you need to do
if you're not ready now
that's OK
transformation is mostly decay
an end before the new
allow yourself to feel
but stay
true to what you know
the only way life can open
is to walk out of what isn't true
caterpillar can not see
the butterfly it's gonna be
transformation is mostly decay
an end before the new
