Like a moth to a flame

"Moth" by Chad Gray
Lyrics slightly modified by Mikayla

I've chosen to stay sequestered,
Alone but tightly wound.
Internally beaten, locked up and bound.
Never felt fully human, I had a soul that was torn.
Unlike all others, fully different since the day I was born.
The wounds that I wear are the crown upon a king.
So heavy they lie, with all the pain that they bring.
My life is full of longing, for what I'll always know.
I've been drawn in to the fire as I reap what I sow.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze
Like a moth to a flame.
(like a moth to a flame)

The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn,
So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong,
Friendships never started, no beginning, no end,
Wouldn't dream in a million years that this could be one of them.
Faith in a life, belief it must end,
Failure's not an option, but no options exist,
I gave up my everything, I give till I bleed,
Take it all, take everything just take it from me.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.

You're pushing me, I'm pushing back,
Falling down my heart attacks,
Compassion is lost,
No more hope, no more trust,
I tore it down and burnt it up,
All faith is gone.
Respect, devotion,
Dead,
Disgust, hate,
Lies
I'm not a hero, or a villain,
Not a god, guy or woman,
Staring through the hourglass,
At the footprints in the sand,
I'm stripping off my armor,
My battles here are done,
Wave my white flag to surrender and fly into the sun.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.
Like a moth to a flame.
