Flame to the Moth

I long for the summer
I long for the sun, gently touching my face
I'll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter
Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart

And I had this coming every day of my life
This is where I stop fighting, eyes open wide

You took this (blade) and (cut) a (wreck)
And in one (blow) laid (bare) your (neck)
Where did we go wrong?

I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise
Now they are black from this dark age of lies
We're all privatized, industrialized
We capitalize on the beams in our eyes
It's all in the eyes

Eyes, tearing with sorrow
Burning with anger and passion and lust
The swift wind of thought
Of wildness and laughter
The soil of defiance
The firm ground of trust

But I am put here, in this world gone insane (we had)
Where everything's for sale (this coming)
From nature, over stars down to DNA (every day of our lives)
Then I can gladly say (we)
That I'd be the first to break that norm (should start)
Any day, any way (fighting)
And the last to join the ranks (for eyes)
To hunt down the Daily Threat (open)
Or any other brand of prey (wide)

You took this (blade) and (cut) a (wreck)
And in one (blow) laid (bare) your (neck)
Where did we go wrong?

We once had blue eyes, probing the skies
Now they are blackened from this modern life
All privatized, industrialized, a failure
Offensive and sore to the eye

One small step for man,maybe this time I'll fly
And if I hit the ground, it's the way we all die
We are wrecks of the cut
Soups of the season with dollar sign scars
From this dark age of treason

(We all know how to cry)
We all know how to cry (then we learn how to smile)
Ho, how to smile
Ho, we are all telling the truth
Tell us the truth
Then we learn how to lie
And oh, how we lie
Now we lie

When you bow your heads tomorrow
At the world we build today
I want you to remember
That I stood my ground and said no (say no)
(Say no)
I said no (I say no)
(Say no) Ho-ho
Hoo, I say no (I say no, I say no)
Say no
Hoo, I say no (I say no, I say no)
Say no, say no
