You are enslaved by your freedom
A moth to the flames of suffering and desire
Forever trapped by fluttering of your tiny wings!
This flight makes me dizzy; I'm nauseated by your dancing
Dance now to the flames reflected in my eyes!
Fly away now into the starless night sky!
Eat my wretched words, bits of paper and glass
because we both knew this dance wouldn't last all night
Stars are so bitter, so I consume as penance
all the light that now lingers in the corner of every room
I refuse to dance
Dance now to the flames reflected in my eyes!
Fly away now into the starless night sky!
Eat my wretched words, bits of paper and glass
because we both knew this dance wouldn't last all night
Take your time around your fire
'til it's just ember.
