Inconsistent Flame

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.

I don't know how to stay away from it

The smoke always calls me to play (come play)

Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere

Pulling me down toward their weight

If a fire's burning garbage on the yard

I wanna save 'em but I always end up burned

My body goes through a cremation

I forget that I can't build with

Those who lack a good foundation

Always breaking (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame

I kept flying

Every time you called I always came

You kept lying

Danced around your inconsistent flame

Wings are frying

Somehow I was always getting blamеd

Be on your merry way, be bеtter

Both of my antennas read you like a letter

I won't be around a fake caterpillar

Get in your cocoon

Baby, don't be bitter

Don't expect me to cradle you gently

I know that my boundaries were thin

Transformation destroyed all the pages

Of patterns we once were locked in

Now my instinct won't be rushing

To your rescue on a Sunday

When you've had enough parading

And displaying of your bouquet

It's all thorns with petals scorched

And ribbons tied so fucking loosely

Wouldn't choose it (yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame

I kept flying

Every time you called I always came

You kept lying

Danced around your inconsistent flame

Wings are frying

Somehow I was always getting blamed
