All this talk of butterflies reminds me of a cool song from the 90s, "Butterfly Wings" by Machines of Loving Grace...I always liked this song. Here are the lyrics, posted only because the link I found has 60 million popups...so I'm saving you, dear reader, this time:
Butterfly Wings, Machines of Loving Grace

You can't place faith in material things
material things will fail you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
your conspirators betray you

Don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly's wings

You can't place faith in a new regime
that fascist faith will kill you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
your conspirators betray you

don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings

there's something burning
deep inside I know
there's something
inside this hole

(tonight when i chase the dragon -
By their fruits you shall know them)

Don't place faith
Don't place faith
When I decide to live in the mind
the heart dies
mother superior in the sky
the heart dies
the heart dies

Don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings

Of course, Laz's version would not place faith in Matt Bryant, Matt Bryant is an unreliable thing. :)
