lyrics

Mothlights

It doesn't matter if you make a scene
Deep down in your heart, no one is listening
to the death rattle of the songs you once sang
skeletal mummers mock you from the grave

Don't worry, don't worry
Tears remain so true
The moon will rise like ancient tides
and so will you
When you're abused and they scoff at all you do
Please don't give up secret fires are still in bloom
All the mothlights are true

It doesn't matter if the jewels are fake
Deep down in your heart, it's like a little earthquake
The hunger for who we are never satiates
Skeletal mummers march in a masquerade

Don't worry, don't worry
Tears remain so true
The moon will rise like ancient tides
and so will you
When you're abused and they scoff at all you do
Please don't give up secret fires are still in bloom
All the mothlights are true
(in a secret fire)
