The Occasional Reply To a Serious Entry

There was a lone insect lover
Kind
Gentle
Saw a particular butterfly
Surrounded by magnificant crystal walls
beautiful, breath taking
But was it happy

To him, the butterfly appeared controlled
Restricted
Was it really free
Was it really living a life
Like a bird in a cage
That's fed stale bread
Like a cat in a box
That's given holes to breathe through
Like a horse in a stable
That's bathed with dirt water

Does it know how it feels like
To have the rain spluttering on it's wings

Have it ever felt
The warmth from the sun

Will it ever feel
What it's like to be cherished

He's heard it lament
He's heard it whine
He's even heard it cry

He tried to save it
Determination unwavering
Reached his hands into the crystal 'prison'
Trying his best to exude as much love from the pores on his palms as possible
Waiting patiently for the butterfly to land in his arms
But whenever it does
And he tries bringing it out of the comfort of the crystal walls
The butterfly flies back in
And deeper each time
Back into the abyss so conveniently disguised by the name 'safe haven'

Why is it everytime i try loving
Be it in r/s or friendships
Something like this has to happen
Maybe i'm just incapable of love
Or caring
Just so tired of trying anymore
Just so tired of giving unconditionally
Getting so close to the finish line
Just to have the cold hard truth slapped right in your face eventually

Anyways..
If you didnt understand that...
it's probably not meant for you..
so yah... dont bother asking...
coz i wont talk...


was in the perfect mood..
so i finished the lyrics to the tune i came up with some time ago..


握着你手小指头

看你躺在我的胸口

真希望那世界别转

让你永远再我身旁



当你和我手牵手

往着你我美丽的梦

真想能把烦恼忘掉

重新走过



我知道

你有数不完的理由

紧紧绷着你的心口

可你说

不过不想从头

那痛心的话

要让我多挣扎



是你变了吗

为何你要一直继续装傻。

你对我说的那些话

都只是些空虚的诺言吗

是你变了吧

为何你要一直相个傻瓜

是真心的对你说

但你在干什么

你还是选择说出

那伤心绝情的话



These are the lyrics.. the tune's playing in the background
Didnt want to put the combined version here because of obvious reasons...
Feel free to refresh the page if you wanna sing along
Just do it softly though..
Or you just might find yourself headhunted for Channel 5's "Living the Dream"

Disclaminer...
My chinese vocabulary's a little limited.. ( Yes Hz.. I think my english song was nicer too )
so pardon the sub-standard lyrics..
and it's played on a 99 bucks keyboard..
so yar... dont expect yamaha grand piano standard notes...
the song's not finished yet..
but i just wanna tell you how i feel..
so yups... just because you asked to hear it yesterday...

and the chorus might be a little familiar..
but yah.. whatever..
I like the tune.. and at least the lyrics are original..
