~ "moth to flame" Lyrics ~

moth to flame

I am to you as
a moth is to flame
You are too beautiful
But hurt me just the same
You shine to me with ephemerality
Before I get burned and you leave
Loving you seems to be self harm
You left me wingless, only with my arms

You burn up my wings when they touch you
You light up my night when it's past curfew
I just can't help myself, love is my virtue
You say I'm pressuring you, that's so true
Only in your head where delusion is the truth
Mine is the same but the delusion is loving you
I wanna say "fuck this fire" and get out
But now I'm too tired to move around

Spaces we shared
Beds, baths, and food
Your warmth ensnared
My body, mind, and mood

You burn up my wings when they touch you
You light up my night when it's past curfew
I just can't help myself, love is my virtue
You say I'm pressuring you, that's so true
Only in your head where delusion is the truth
Mine is the same but the delusion is loving you
I wanna say "fuck this fire" and get out
But now I'm too tired to move around

I could blow out the flame but I don't want to
I could crawl away but I can't
You want to keep me around, don't you?
It's burning me to ash and sand

You burn up my wings when they touch you
You light up my night when it's past curfew
I just can't help myself, love is my virtue
You say I'm pressuring you, that's so true
Only in your head where delusion is the truth
Mine is the same but the delusion is loving you
I wanna say "fuck this fire" and get out
But now I'm too tired to move around

(You burn up my wings)
(You burn them)
(You burn them)
