Moth's Wings Lyrics - Manners - Passion Pit

Dear friend, as you know 

Your flowers are withering 

Your mother's gone insane 

Your leaves have drifted away 

But the clouds aren't clearing up 

And I've come reveling 

Burning incandescently 

Like a bastard on the burning sea 

You're just like your father 

Buried deep under the water 

You're resting on your laurels 

And stepping on my toes 

Whose side are you on? 

What side is this anyway? 

Put down your sword and crown 

Come lay with me on the ground 

You come beating like moth's wings 

Spastic and violently 

Whipping me into a storm 

Shaking me down to the core 

But you run away from me 

And you've left me shimmering 

Like diamond wedding rings 

Spinning dizzily down on the floor 

You're just like your father 

Buried deep under the water 

You're resting on your laurels 

And stepping on my toes 

Whose side are you on? 

What side is this anyway? 

Put down your sword and crown 

Come lay with me on the ground 

You're just like your father 

Buried deep under the water 

You're resting on your laurels 

And stepping on my toes 

Whose side are you on? 

What side is this anyway? 

Put down your sword and crown 

Come lay with me on the ground
