Inconsistent Flame
Melanie Martinez
I don't know how to stay away from it
The smoke always calls me to play (come play)
Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere
Pulling me down toward their weight
If a fire's burning garbage on the yard
I wanna save 'em but I always end up burned
My body goes through a cremation
I forget that I can't build with
Those who lack a good foundation
Always breaking (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings are frying
Somehow I was always getting blamеd
Be on your merry way, be bеtter
Both of my antennas read you like a letter
I won't be around a fake caterpillar
Get in your cocoon
Baby, don't be bitter
Don't expect me to cradle you gently
I know that my boundaries were thin
Transformation destroyed all the pages
The patterns we once were locked in
Now my instinct won't be rushing
To your rescue on a Sunday
When you've had enough parading
And displaying of your bouquet
It's all thorns with petals scorched
And ribbons tied so fucking loosely
Wouldn't choose it (yeah, yeah)
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings are frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed
