Moth Lyrics by River Whyless

We All The Light

2016

[Verse 1]
A moth comes fluttering in
I could have its life so easily
Clap it into perfect darkness
Clap it into perfect light
But I don't
But I don't
Instead I leave it at the glass
Instead I leave it on the outside
To hover close to light bulbs
To hover close to light bulbs

[Chorus]
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's not damaging
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's that clean
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's not damaging

[Verse 2]
Why did you stay here your whole life
When I kept you at arms length the whole time
Suspended in perfect darkness
While I forged on to the sun
To the sun
To the sun

[Chorus]
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's not damaging
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's that clean
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's not damaging
I would give you my love but I don't claim that it's that clean
That it's that clean
That it's that clean
That it's that clean
