I’m a moth to a flame Drawn to the heat Of things that stay the same I know how this ends A moth to a flame I can’t stay away From the things that burn me That beg me to stay I’m a moth to a flame Inflicting the pain On those who fly too close Then Shifting the blame I’m a moth to a flame And maybe it’s true I was never burned by them Only you But “you” changes shape With each thing I do Every flame I chase Looks a little like you

Moth to a flame
I’m a moth to a flame Drawn to the heat Of things that stay the same I know how this ends A moth to a flame I can’t stay away From the things that burn me That beg me to stay I’m a moth to a flame Inflicting the pain On those who fly too close Then Shifting the blame I’m a moth to a flame And maybe it’s true I was never burned by them Only you But “you” changes shape With each thing I do Every flame I chase Looks a little like you
