Lyrics

She lit a candle. She poured some scotch.
She curled up on the loveseat. She checked her watch.
She caught sight of a moth. It had the most beautiful wings.
She made a cage with her fingers. She trapped a beautiful thing.

She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.
She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.

The candle guttered on the table. The moth attempted escape.
Shadows danced the walls like spies. She held her hands to her face.

She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.
She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.

She saw potential in its wings.
She sensed the promise of escape.
She couldn't release the wondrous thing.
She felt beauty erased.
It was gone without a trace.

She eyed the candle. Her scotch was gone.
The flame twisted, clumsy. She sat alone.

She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.
She wanted to cage a beautiful thing.
