Moth |
| Same old question |
| Without words |
| So familiar |
| Seldom heard |
| If I answer |
| I confess |
| I am lonely |
| Just a guess |
| And with my eyes |
| It’s hard to see |
| With my ears |
| It’s hard to believe that |
| If I ever lose my will to live |
| It was me that I could not forgive |
| There’s no savior hanging on this cross |
| It isn’t suffering we fear but loss |
| This is closer than I ever came |
| Just a burning moth without a flame |
| Isaac’s knife can |
| Cut away |
| All the poisoned |
| Yesterdays |
| And the anger |
| Ease it down |
| Into the ocean |
| Let it drown |
| As far as east is |
| From the west |
| I let you go |
| I know, I know it’s best |
| And my answer to the years of strife |
| Is the way I choose to live my life |
| There’s no savior hanging on this cross |
| It isn’t suffering we fear but loss |
| When there’s no one else around to blame |
| You’re a burning moth without a flame |
| Maybe I should take your face at night |
| Let you see yourself in a different light |
| If you were to take my place tonight |
| Oh now wouldn’t Jesus be surprised |
| There’s no savior on this cross |
| It isn’t suffering we fear but loss |
| This is closer than I ever came |
| Just a burning moth without a flame |
| It’s an offer that you can’t refuse |
| It’s a trophy that you’ll want to lose |
| But you’ll do anything, you’ll do anything |
| To be a burning moth without a flame |
| Just a burning moth without a flame |
