Lyrics

I watch as they dance with you
I watch as they sing to you
I watch as they pour
Honey in your ear

Like moths with their tattered wings
Swing back into your flame again
But dear
There’s nothing for you here

But I know
It’s all honey and smoke
They don’t really love you
Like I do

Unaware
Of just how beautiful you are
From within
Uncontainable
Exquisite to the detail
It hypnotizes people
Robs them of their social graces
Swarming to your glow
Fanning with phrases

But I know
It’s all honey and smoke
They don’t really love you
Like I do

I watch as they sing to you
I watch as they dance with you
I watch as they pour
Honey in your ear
