A moth made of paper...
think of it as a mix of alt-goth and art-pop ballad. raw, fragile, and beautiful, buttersweet— a perfect moth approaching the flame. it's delicate, also haunted,very very intimate and emotional, slow-burning. Fragile female vocals with warm lonely timbre and reverb. Sparse arrangement that blooms into a painful, glowing chorus. raw, heartfelt

Lyrics
verse1
You gave up on me.
but i won't give up on you.
I will smile, and smile, and smile.
I will always smile to you.
I will fly toward the light that is
you.
chorus
You're my candle burning bright
Call me a martyr of my own thought and mind.
The other way...? i cannot find.
A moth made of paper, flying high.
Wings spread wide, yet mind is blind light.
verse2
you gave up on me.
i am used to to the corners dark, so i don't mind (...don't mind...)
am i afraid? it's too late
wings burning bright, too close to flames, too close to light...
but i...
I will fly toward the light that is
you.
chorus
You're my candle burning bright
Call me a martyr of my own thought and mind.
The other way...? i cannot find.
A moth made of paper, flying high.
Wings spread wide, yet mind is blind by the light
bridge
You're my light...you're the flame...!
you're burning bright, am insanely sane!
I'm closing in, i'm closing in
knowing i'll burn - is it a sin?
i'm closing in, i'm closing in
trying to feel what i lack within
final chorus
A moth made of paper.
light and flying high, burning bright.
A moth made of paper, flying high.
Wings spread wide, yet mind is blind by the
Wings spread wide, yet mind is blind by the
light.
outro
smiles through the burn
The paper clashes
against the flames
there are no scars
only ashes.
