Moth & Flame

Umbrellas up, rain’s comin

I see the clouds gather above

I’m searching for the right words

But for me, that’s like tryna catch smoke

Like violence or violets, I know they both lead me to choke

My bad habits take over, and that’s all I know in my heart

I come when you call

I do what I’m told

You profit, I work

It’s so corporate and cold

The union’s a mess, I should be movin on

What good is a roof if it leaks in a storm?

It takes a lot to upset me

And I don’t hold much of a grudge

Far be it from me to police what you want

But it’s cruel to let boredom look so much like love

I walk into your headlights

Like moth and flame I know where to fly

Always telling myself things I didn’t buy

False salvation’s the worst lie

Excuses are cheap

But I’m paying the cost

You get what you want but you give nothing up

You’re still the noose but the shackles are off

Cut me loose babe I’ve had enough

I come when you call

I do what I’m told

You profit, I work

It’s so corporate and cold

The union’s a mess, I should be movin on

What good is a roof if it leaks in a storm?

It takes a lot to upset me

And i don’t hold much of a grudge

Far be it from me to police what you want

But it’s cruel to let boredom look so much like love
