9 white butterflies had a sheltered childhood
9 white butterflies knew nothing but good
9 white butterflies never understood
7 black butterflies then poisoned the rest
7 black butterflies left less than best
7 black butterflies did manifest
9 white butterflies tried to save
9 white butterflies tried to be brave
9 white butterflies first to the gave
7 black butterflies took up all the room
7 black butterflies made it a tomb
7 black butterflies bring nothing but doom
9 white butterflies died that night
9 white butterflies fell when the urges could no longer I fight
9 white butterflies no longer alright
7 black butterflies why I cry
7 black butterflies say don't try
7 black butterflies won't let me fly
