[Verse 1] If you break these moth wing feelings Powdery dust on your fingers Well no we're not praying, we're kneeling Hard enough just to say you believe them Well, how the heck'd you think you could beat them? At the same time that you're tryin' to be them Hard enough just to say you don't need it When they serve it up, well you will still eat it Well satellite, and satellite skin [Verse 2] Just to knock just to say you don't visit Well, everybody's willing to listen 'Cept satellite, satellite skin You can say what you want, you're forgiven Well, happy fuckin' congratulations Where everyone, everyone wins Just like being my own solar system Doing good things but then totally eclipse them Oh, what the use? Oh, what the hell? [Verse 3] If you break these moth wing feelings Butterfly knife's in the ceiling Where everyone, everyone's waiting Detachment gets praised and completed You can say what you want and not mean it Well, no one really seems to be waiting If you sweep up this mess I created Nothing's left to show I existed Except satellite, satellite skin [Bridge] Askin' for a question Was it easier said than was actually done? Do you even believe that? Do you even believe that there's a race to be won? [Verse 4] If you break these moth wing feelings I have seen it all become satellite skin Orbiting some eyes A knack to not that's not their opinions Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots Just to tell you I could not have seen Through to the gist of those unhappy, happy accidents
