[Verse 1]

I've been cast out, sequestered

Pushed the fuck around

Blindsided, beaten

Locked up and bound

Always thought I was human

But maybe I was wrong

I've been treated like an animal

Since the day I was born

[Pre-Chorus 1]

The wounds that I wear

Are like the crown upon a king

So heavy they lie

With all the pain that they bring

My life is full of longing

But for what, I'll never know

I've been drawn into the fire

As you reap what I sow

[Chorus]

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

I'll be the one that's to blame

So, I'll sell my soul to a blaze

[Post-Chorus]

Like a moth to a flame

Like a moth to a flame

[Verse 2]

The ruler of the kingdom

That ends up the pawn

So tired of thinking of

Where it all went wrong

Friendships, they come and go

And sometimes, they end

Wouldn't dream in a million years

That this would be one of them

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Faith in the life

Belief to the end

Failure's not an option

But the options exist

I gave up my everything

I give till I bleed

Take it all, take everything

Just take it from me

[Chorus]

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

I'll be the one that's to blame

So, I'll sell my soul to a blaze

[Bridge 1]

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

[Bridge 2]

Respect, devotion, dead!

Disgust, hate, lies!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I'm not a hero or a villain

Not a god, I'm just a man

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

[Chorus]

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

I'll be the one that's to blame

So, I'll sell my soul to a blaze

[Outro]

Like a moth to a flame

Moth to a flame

Moth to a flame

Moth to a flame
