Chrysalis Lyrics by Ian Be

PRISMATIC [Deluxe]

2021

[Verse 1]
Curl up
Hide away
Safe from the world
In my head with my own words
Cover me
Another day
Free in my own mind
Put up a front, say that I'm fine

[Pre-Chorus]
It was the awkward stage
That lasted way too long
Had to grow and change
Before I could finally move on

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need

[Verse 2]
Learned a lot
While I was gone
Learning to grow
Learning to run
Stunted my growth
I couldn't see
I don't blame you
Why do you still blame me?

[Pre-Chorus]
It was the awkward stage
That lasted far too long
Had to grow and change
Before I could finally move on

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need

[Bridge]
Eighteen
Was a learning curve
One that I really needed
The winter (the winter)
Took a bad turn (took a bad turn)
I will miss her forever (I'll miss her)
Nineteen
Looks so much brighter
Now that I am really healing
Think the future (think the future)
Taking the right turn (taking the right turn)
With the memories I treasure (with the memories I treasure)
Shed the cocoon
But don't forget
Still not immune
From the upset
Because

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime
To morph into a butterfly
The chrysalis that caught me
When I just kept falling
It took a long time
From a moth to a butterfly
The chrysalis that wrapped me
Taught me all I need

[Reprise]
It takes a lifetime (it takes a lifetime)
To morph into a butterfly (from a moth to a)
The chrysalis that caught me
The chrysalis that helped me
The chrysalis that taught me
The chrysalis that saved me
