The Moth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The moth don't care when he sees the flame
He might get burned, but he's in the game
And once he's in he can't go back, and
Beat his wings till he burns them black
No the moth don't care when he sees the flame
No the moth don't care when he sees the flame
The moth don't care if the flame is real
'Coz flame and moth got a sweetheart deal
And nothing fuels a good flrtation
Like need and anger and desperation
Now the moth don't care if the flame is real
Now the moth don't care if the flame is real
So come on, let's go. Ready or not
'Coz there's a flame I know, hotter than hot
And with a fuse that's so thoroughly shone, away
The moth don't care if the flame burns low
Coz moth believes in an afterglow
And flames are never doused completely
All you really need is the love of heat
Now the moth don't care if the flame burns low
Now the moth don't care if the flame burns low
So come on, let's go. Ready or not
'Coz there's a flame I know, hotter than hot
And with a fuse that's so thoroughly shone, away
