Moths & Mischief

by

Daniel Bradbury

Starve your baring moments
Become your pairings token
To test their world ties

w/ a trance upon your mind.
Retreat to your modesty forest
Cry me a river & torrent
Help me breathe & still

there's a hope in all my shine.
Real life is likely
To be all in the timing
The only problem is

that I don't have the time.

(Chorus)
& I'm down on me.
& I'm w/ you.
I'm giving up on you

for the sanctity of truth
Recall a forbidden youth
You're on the inside of me

Detached from your moorings
I find your conflicts boring
Your psychosis does more to me

than it's ever done to you.

So, take your time

& do everything that you do right

Reach for the rope

W/ the know around your throat

You're slipping free

You're bearing down on me.
(Chorus)

Before a new day dawns

You must make yourself belong

Little toys

To a little girl

& all the little boys are 2 toned

Will you laugh w/ me?

Or just strive to be?

Done again

You're bankrupt

Your soul lives in me.

The onset

Of thankless drawl

Blood touch releases me.
W/ it all forbidden
& your conviction bitten
Resurrect the times

that were the times of your life.

Live w/ me

Fake & free

& please believe all the shit that you're sold.
(Chorus)
& now your deepest secret
Is your cheapest public regret
Thrown out to the world

to be eaten like the truth.
Risk another tamed hour
While you crawl & cower
From the faces that

you used to know so well
Now you wrap my hands w/
Your dirty bandwidths
Encased iside your emotions
Like a gun on a shelf
Like a gun on the shelf
Relevant to the steam in your eyes.
You're alone in my eyes.
