lyrics

Light Bulb

The love of a moth
A 60-Watt life support
Short-circuited everything
And cut me off
From the mezzanine
I heard your beating wings
But when I looked up to understand
I couldn’t see anything

But I won’t care anymore. Whatever.
I’m drawn to the light regardless of
All the warning signs. Oh well!

Hopping the waves
Tomorrow to yesterday
It seems my future in my past
The present dissolves away
A wasp in a jar
Been trailing the blind too far
And cold comfort is where it leads
Deceived by a northern star

Like a promise you can’t keep at all
I’m drawn to the light regardless of
All the warning signs. Oh well!
So now I don’t hesitate
To rap on your door
Because the lines on face
Say I’ve been here before
You’ll tire yourself to death with
All my mess if you don’t give it a rest
