Same Mistake

Beaten by butterfly wings
Bruised by billions of brittle things
Inefficient, insistent impact
Overtime overcomes noble acts
Since you was young you’ve been told
Tiptoe around when father’s home
Don’t dare dredge up days past
Signed up with noble motives
Careless parents
Left unsupervised
Same mistake
Dropped out, tuned in, turned it on
Bought in just as you had won
Regret reacked up crushing sand
Overtime overcomes your motive
Let live like loves is homemade
Throw your flowers in the grave
Hard rain held up for a spell
Dry eyes to see the deluge
Careless parents
Left you unsupervised
Time has come to show them what you’ve made
You’d never make the same mistake
You’ve gone and made the same mistake
