MOTH TO A FLAME
I was sitting in my room
Staring at the candle
It was my only illumination, yeah
And I watched as the moth drew near
Drawn to the brilliance of its destruction
And I thought of you
And I thought of me, yeah
And I gave myself
So completely, so eagerly, so foolishly
'Cause you held the magic in your hands
And I fell into your spell
Like sand through an hourglass
I was laying in my bed
Wishing I was dead
When I saw an illumination
It was a light even brighter than your flame
And I heard it call me name
It said Andy, you've got to stop all your self-destruction
That's when I knew
I didn't have to suffer at your hands anymore
And I got myself out of bed
And I walked right on out your door
No longer hypnotized
By your flame
I broke the spell
And I won the game
I said no longer hypnotized
By your flame
And I broke the spell
And I won the game
Staring at the candle
It was my only illumination, yeah
And I watched as the moth drew near
Drawn to the brilliance of its destruction
And I thought of you
And I thought of me, yeah
And I gave myself
So completely, so eagerly, so foolishly
'Cause you held the magic in your hands
And I fell into your spell
Like sand through an hourglass
I was laying in my bed
Wishing I was dead
When I saw an illumination
It was a light even brighter than your flame
And I heard it call me name
It said Andy, you've got to stop all your self-destruction
That's when I knew
I didn't have to suffer at your hands anymore
And I got myself out of bed
And I walked right on out your door
No longer hypnotized
By your flame
I broke the spell
And I won the game
I said no longer hypnotized
By your flame
And I broke the spell
And I won the game
