At dawn a shadow dances with a moth Its wings are black and white and black It doesn't care about the stillness That's settled on your head And you haven't slept in ages And you haven't seen the outside And you don't need anything at all The moth sits in a pool of sunlight Where there are lines that break the sky The clouds have gone, the sun is bright Where halls are filled with angry voices The parks are ruled by autumn leaves The moth rests its wings upon your hand and sleeps At dawn the circles follow every move A mix of blinding light and intense dark It's playing on the floor like a flutter Of wings that lift you out of bed And you can stand up and feel a warmth That you haven't felt in ages And you don't need anything at all The moth sits in a pool of sunlight Where broken clouds hang from a lamppost The ice forms rainbows in the air Where blue light burns away your eyes There's shade and peace around the edge The moth rests its wings upon your hand and sleeps And you haven't eaten anything And you haven't used your voice that much But now you're gathering energy The moth sits in a pool of sunlight Where snatches of fights break the silence of the wind in your mind There's a gust in your back Where endless days and woods of paper press you into the ground There's the warmth of the flame And moths whirl into the night And moths flicker tonight In the headlights of the broken hearts Gathering around the edge, their gaze unfazed And one rests its wings upon your hand and sleeps At dawn a shadow dances with a moth Its wings are black and white and black
