The Mothlight (feat. Vetiver)

Birthing my own life story

I rock the cradle that I'm laying inside

Aging and dying in ¾ time twice now

While I wait to see the spool unwind

I'll kick the beehive one last time

When heaven was sold out I set a course for the mothlight

Followed a thread through the airlock valve

Opened the door and let the gravity out

Been kissing the window, inside looking out

Were you hoping for a stranger kind

Not just one with problems falling in line?

Straighten me out and I'll still attract toward the mothlight

My, how the years pass over my eyes so soon

Winter's looming darkness in afternoon

One day, I will feel that haunted love

Open the coffin that rose in the flood

Float on a ship made of loose ends left undone

Tethered our lives to a story

Tied off an ending to a June bug flying

When ours is over we'll fly on up toward the mothlight
