I found a moth in the sink Beating ash from its wings It knew my name I never gave it one Still it kept coming back To the drain, to the stain Black little pilgrim Drinking the moon out Don’t shut the door Don’t shut the door Let the dark in Let it sit on your tongue Let it sit Let it sit Mothglass, mothglass Break in my mouth Mothglass, mothglass Cut the scream out Hold me under Hold me under Till I shine like ruin Till I shine like ruin Till I shine like ruin The dog on the porch went still When the wall began to hum I traced your face in the dust Then watched it turn to smoke Your ring left a green mark On the window, on my hand I kept it I kept it Like a coal in my jaw Don’t shut the door I can hear the tide Under the floor Under the floor Let it come Let it come Let it come through me Mothglass, mothglass Break in my mouth Mothglass, mothglass Cut the scream out Hold me under Hold me under Till I shine like ruin Till I shine like ruin Ten faces in the glass And none of them mine One by one they lean in Like rain through a cracked roof Tell me my name Tell me my name Tell me my name Tell me my name Tell me my name Tell me my name Tell me my name Mothglass, mothglass Break in my mouth Mothglass, mothglass Cut the scream out Hold me under Hold me under Till I shine like ruin Till I shine like ruin Till I shine like ruin I found a moth in the sink And it never left Never left Never left Never left Never left Never left
