Lyrics

Same old question without word
So familiar, seldom heard
If I answer, I confess
I am only 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't 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'd be a burning moth without a flame
Maybe you should take your face and hide
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 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
