lyrics

Moth In A Fire ©2021 Troy Kokol

V1 
Desperate times, desperate measures 
On a cell, tangled up in chains 
Filtered life, plastic treasures 
It's so cotton candy in the rain

  Pre 
A Becky smile, she gets the likes 
She can breathe for a moment, ‘ til the moment is gone 
Caught in a light, she’s burned alive 
Just a moth in a fire hot as the sun  

Ch 
Oooo, oo, oooo x 6  

V2 
Telling lies, selling memories 
To a world, that she doesn’t know 
Travels light, just her LG 
Cause she’s really got no place to go

  Pre 
A Becky smile, she gets the likes 
She can feel for a moment, ‘ til the moment is gone
 Caught in a light, she’s burned alive 
Just a moth in a fire hot as the sun  

Ch Oooo, oo, oooo x 6

V3
In the dark, with her scars
Self-inflicted on her very own
She falls apart.
All the pieces on display for her final show

  Pre 
A Becky smile, she gets the likes 
She held on for a moment, but the moment is gone
 Caught in a light, she’s burned alive 
Just a moth in a fire hot as the sun  

Ch Oooo, oo, oooo x 6
