lyrics

We were forced into the night by the butterflies
Now we're here with the glowworms and fireflies
But as our clothes are plainer we are criticised
we are moths we are moths we are moths we are moths
Why are they so beautiful after chrysalis?
I'm like a plant that never had photosynthesis
And I guess it's time we got into this
We are moths we are moths we are moths

But the night is ours
But how we rage against the death of the light
It's the light we devour
Don't turn it off
We are moths we are moths we are moths we are moths

We are frightened of the peacocks and seagulls
We exist amongst the owls and the white wolves
But we're drawn to the neon and lightbulbs
We are moths we are moths we are moths we are moths
We are plainer because we're nocturnal
And our lives feel so ephermal
But united we are eternal
We are moths we are moths we are moths

But the night is ours
But how we rage against the death of the light
It's the light we devour, don't turn it off
Coz we are moths we are moths we are moths
