Moth - River Whyless

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

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

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

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
