[Verse 1]
Birthing my own life story
I rock the cradle that I’m laying inside
Aging and dying in three fourth time twice now
While I wait to see the spool unwind
I’ll kick the beehive one last time
When heaven was sold out I set a course for the mothlight
[Verse 2]
Followed a thread through the airlock valve
Opened the door and let the gravity out
Been kissing the window, inside looking out
Were you hoping for a stranger kind?
Not just one with problems falling in line
Straighten me out and I'd still attract toward the mothlight
The mothlight
[Bridge]
My, how the years pass over my eyes so soon
Winter’s looming, darkness in afternoon
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
One day, I will feel that haunted love
Open the coffin that rose in the flood
Float on a ship made of loose ends left undone
Tethered our lives to a story
Tied off an ending to a june bug flying
When ours is over we’ll fly on up toward the mothlight
[Outro]
The mothlight
The mothlight
The mothlight
The mothlight
