These last 3 years were the best years of my life with you Emily. I know it’s for the better but I can’t accept that it’s better we part ways.

Pre Hollywood satanism soul selling Sam smith was elite

I can’t believe you let me down 😔🥀

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Moth to the lantern, I’m drawn to the glow,
Wings catch fire, but I can’t let go.
Night’s too heavy, it pulls me apart,
Chasing a light that might break my heart.
Stars watch quiet, they don’t say a word,
But I keep flying, though the heat’s absurd.  

[Instrumental Break 1]

[Chorus]
Lantern’s flame, it calls my name,
Burns my soul, but I’m still the same.
Every spark’s a chance, every singe a cost,
Dancing with a light that I know I’ve lost.
Oh, I’m circling, can’t break away,
Bound to a glow that won’t let me stay.  

[Verse 2]
Shadows twist on the walls I pass,
Glass traps heat, but I’m moving too fast.
Wings are frayed, got no plan to land,
Crave the warmth I don’t understand.
Every flutter’s a fight, every dive’s a prayer,
Reaching for something that’s barely there.  

[Instrumental Break 2]

[Bridge]
I see your face in the lantern’s shine,
A fleeting glimpse from a better time.
We’d talk till dawn, share secrets and scars,
Now I’m chasing your light through a sky of stars.
Though the flame might end me, I’ll never turn,
Some fires are worth it, even when they burn.  

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus - Variation]
Lantern’s glow, it steals my breath,
Guides my wings through a brush with death.
Every blaze is a hope, every ash a sign,
Tethered to a spark that I’ll never define.
Oh, I’m spiraling, caught in the flame,
Loving a light that forgets my name.  

[Outro]
[Soft, fading.]
Moth to the lantern, I’ll chase till I’m gone,
Lost in a glow that keeps burning on.
