Black Moth

# BLACK MOTH 🇺🇸 [Verse 1] Your name lived in the damage, where the good in me went black. Smoke in my throat, hope running cold— you made ruin look like gold. You wore the night like borrowed skin, let the dark out, drew me in. I took your light for north, then lost the road I had before. [Pre-Chorus] You go cold. I crave the glow. Give me less. I need you more. Starve the heart. Hunger makes gods. One more spark— and I’m yours. [Chorus] Black moth, back off, come close, don’t stop. Round and round the same desire. No north, no home, just you and fire. Beat through my ribs, leave your dust beneath my skin. If loving you is how I lose, why does losing feel like proof? Black moth… black moth… I leave the light on. You come back. [Verse 2] The mirror says I stayed the same. I built myself around your name. You vanish clean, then leave a trace— just enough love to hold my place. You taught my hunger how to wait till absence started feeling like fate. Silence learned to speak your name. Every answer fed the flame. I called the ache a sacred sign. Called being wanted being mine. But wanting hard won’t make it true. I made a god out of you. [Pre-Chorus] You go dark. I lose my way. Give me one word. I give a day. One small spark— I call it sun. You say “come close.” I come undone. [Chorus] Black moth, back off, come close, don’t stop. Round and round the same desire. No north, no home, just you and fire. Beat through my ribs, leave your dust beneath my skin. If loving you is how I lose, why does losing feel like proof? Black moth… black moth… I leave the light on. You come back. [Bridge] Maybe you were never north. Maybe I was born unsure. False moons only need to shine long enough to bend the mind. I blamed the moth. I blamed the flame. I gave the hunger your name. Every night I burned on cue. Maybe I was circling you. [Break] Maybe I’m the black moth. Maybe you’re the light. Maybe we call hunger love so hunger feels divine. [Final Chorus] Black moth, back off, come close, don’t stop. No north. No home. Just hunger dressed as hope. No god. No sign. No fate to make you mine. If loving you is how I lose, I won’t call losing proof. Black moth… black moth… I kept the light on for you. Black moth… black moth… Now I know— I circled too. [Outro] You were never the moon. Just bright enough to make me lose the dark.
