We were born with wings But they are tattered like old photographs with blurred faces And faded like curtains that brave the fierce sun. But our eyes are still alive And we never know the sun. You say we whisper But if we were brighter you'd say we shout. You say we are ugly Then wonder why we flock to the light. You are the same as us but worse You choose to become the things you fear You chase after a light that only you can see And it takes so much longer to **** you So much longer for you to realize that you burn.

Moths
We were born with wings But they are tattered like old photographs with blurred faces And faded like curtains that brave the fierce sun. But our eyes are still alive And we never know the sun. You say we whisper But if we were brighter you'd say we shout. You say we are ugly Then wonder why we flock to the light. You are the same as us but worse You choose to become the things you fear You chase after a light that only you can see And it takes so much longer to **** you So much longer for you to realize that you burn.
