Butterfly collector
Rows of jars of souls
Each is individual and unique
It doesn’t make a difference to you
It’s a ruthless hobby
But still you’ll continue
Pinning their wings
Making them cry
You’ve made a prison
They’re screaming for freedom
And they are bleeding
Pools of scarlet wine
It’s what you live off of
The essence of beauty
Because you are a beast
This elixir won’t heal you
But still you will smile
Baring your fatal fangs
Their death is sweet music
In an ocean of tears
