When the weight of life

Buffets you in storms

Let the moths

Eat your beautiful coat

Go to terrible places

Fill your heart with fear

Beckon the screaming demons

Lie down with starving bears

Let the moths

Fly away with your coat

Offer your blood and bones

Give away your skin

Open all the windows

To the wild, whirling wind

Let the moths

Eat all our lovely coats

Are spun from the secret spell

Sympathy for the dark

Be your only coats
