sat on a cloud
with nothing to do
watching the world spin
just as you do
waiting and wishing
for something to happen
people are funny
but they work in patterns
i saw you
running in circles you made as a child
was it another game?
did you lose your place?
are you looking for a way out
maybe you love the cycles
the familiar spirals
the comfort
of knowing
you'll end up
exactly where you began
don't you want to see
more than this my friend?
don't you want to be more than a breathing dead-end?
my friend

mothman told me that he loved me last night
his eyes at my window were a terrible fright
but his wings, oh, his wings were such a wonderful sight !
oh, mothman told me that he loved me last night
i opened up my windows and he chirped in delight
he didn't move his mouth, but i could hear him alright
i climbed into his arms and we talked about the stars
oh, mothman told me that he loved me last night
oh, mothman,
what brought you to my homestead?
how did you know i needed a friend
oh, mothman,
what brought you to my side?
was it my eyes, or just my lamplight
we stayed on the roof until the sun came up
the birds weren't singing but the night was done
i climbed into my bed and he kissed me on my forehead
oh, mothman, when will i see you again?
i fell asleep and i dreamed of him
in the dream i dreamed he was human
i woke up
with tears in my eyes
a certainty fell
he'd never be mine
somewhere, somehow, he'd found a better life
oh, mothman,
would i were your wife
oh, mothman,
what brought you to my homestead?
where have you gone now i need you my friend
oh, mothman,
i wish you'd carried me off that night
my starlight love,
would i could gaze upon you
one
more
time

i try to take
a picture of you
but you keep disappearing
why do we keep
sliding out of view
do you think this is endearing ?
i hear you knock
when i try to sleep
so i try to talk
but all you do is white-noise my tv
what
did i do
to deserve you
knock twice
if you're there
now every cold spot in my home
used to make me smile
are you my adolescence in an apparition ?
maybe we should both move on
oh
should i be holding
on so tight
but if i move on
who will be my
bump in the night
i miss your little tricks
i thought we had it made
this old haunted house
simply ain't the same
now we go for days
where you don't say my name
there's only cobwebs in the corner now
and every creak is out of place
you're out of place
i'm out of time
i'm saving face
you're spilling wine
i'm giving up
you've gone away
my oujia board is just a game !
what
did i do
to deserve you ?
knock twice,
if you're there
now, i didnt know
that you could die twice
but there you go
disappearing again
so won't you,
knock twice
if you're there

am i encouraging this?
am i a fool
to dip my toes in
to wet my tongue on your name again
to wade back
i see your silhouette
you're the axe in my shower scene
the eyes in the dark
of the deep
the voice on the other end of the line
i hear you talking to me
from inside
the house where i live
is definitely haunted
i sing our favourite songs
in harmony
with the skeletons i keep in my closet
i am cliche
final girl
stalking the halls with a knife i just picked up
i am cliche
final girl
and it's always you i'm running from
i am cliche
final girl
one snappy saying away from the credit roll
i am cliche
final girl
should've been left on the cutting room floor
i ask too much
looking into my crystal ball
i see nothing at all
what did i expect
who am i to know what you're thinking
i've drawn my tarot cards
sung my spells into songs
i ask too much
starring role in the movie i'm writing
all by myself
would you
pick up, pick up
if i called ?
if i called you someday
would you let me in
with sweet invitation
if i showed up ?
i know i'm growing stale
i bore myself too, baby
but darling i have to know !
i am cliche
final girl
cutting the telephone lines from just outside
i am cliche
final girl
shaking my chains
i am cliche
final girl
i can still taste pig blood
i am cliche
final girl
final scene, where are you now?
