Moth - Jiqui & Smiles Only

I've been cast out, sequestered Pushed the fuck around Blindsided, beaten, locked up and bound Always thought I was human, but maybe I was wrong I've been treated like an animal, since the day I was born The wounds that I wear are like the crown upon a king So heavy they lie, with all the pain that they bring My life's full of longing, but for what I'll never know I've been drawn into the fire as you reap what I sow Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces The more that you love me, insecurity releases I'll be the one that's to blame, so I'll sell my soul to a blaze Like a moth to a flame, like a moth to a flame The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong Friendships, they come and go and sometimes they end Wouldn't dream in a million years that this would be one of them Faith in the life, belief 'til the end Failure's not an option, but the options exist I gave up my everything, I give 'til I bleed Take it all, take everything, just take it from me Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces The more that you love me, insecurity releases I'll be the one that's to blame, so I'll sell my soul to a blaze You're pushing me, I'm pushing back Falling down, my heart attacks Compassion is lost No more hope, no more trust I tore it down and burnt it up All faith is gone Respect Devotion Dead! Disgust Hate Lies! I'm not a hero or a villain, not a god, I'm just a man Staring through the hourglass at the footprints in the sand I'm stripping off my armor, my battles here are done Wave my white flag to surrender And fly into the sun Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces The more that you love me, insecurity releases I'll be the one that's to blame, so I'll sell my soul to a blaze Like a moth to a flame Moth to a flame Moth to a flame Moth to a flame

Watch the sycophant bamboozle you out Of your wits by the gift of gab Steal all your strongest hands Just like skipping stones, swiping down your phone Darling, don't floss your teeth while you speak to me I can't help but feel sorry Blame the caregiver don't blame me Smelly sleeper, chronic disconnector Spending more time searching for things to buy Than wondering why we like The sweet sound of men losing their mind Listen to them carve the pumpkin The tomb of the seeds wide open This is the first holiday I can see the lives before you Form a line right in front of me Is this all poppycock? Shine the light on my flameproof moth Lost in search of the happy end Archetypal bad boyfriend Dance in limbo now let the fun begin Cyclothymic, hypomanic Kiss the sun and cozy up with the Titanic I can feel the Tides are shifting Unearth all the sunken treasure Thank you for the gift of giving It's our pleasure Life is good now living downtown Death is better now heading uptown to say goodbye To the clown, the one who can't be kind Listen to them carve the pumpkin The tomb of the seeds wide open This is the first holiday I can see the lives before you Form a line right in front of me Is this all poppycock? Pilot please climb down to me Cyclothymic, hypomanic Kiss the sun and cozy up with the Titanic I can feel the Tides are shifting Unearth all the sunken treasure Thank you for the gift of giving It's our pleasure

We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive We know sharp fangs and they chew in the times alone My gut is telling, oh, it's telling me what? She'd rather see a man up than me undone Rip a hole in my life But no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you (And I'll be missing you) Advice is not always right So I've gone to tread my ways The path I've laid out is tied We're always meant to shine You left a lot of grief Now it's bleeding out my teeth Shot holes in every stone heart The tones are on repeat but nothing's filling me It's on my chest and you're in this art My gut is telling, oh, it's telling me what? She'd rather see a man up than me undone Rip a hole in my life But no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I'll work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you Death is true and I'll be missing you I think I'll just smile through it all for you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you
