Moth into Flame

A high-energy track from *Hardwired… to Self-Destruct*, 2016, exploring fame’s destructive allure.

Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky

Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry

Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery

Hears the silence so loud

Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be

Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

Chorus

For the moth into flame
Addicted to the fame

High, wired, burning desire
Takes you higher, then throws you in the fire

Guilty pleasure, no one measures
Up to this treasure, you’re craving forever

Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame

Twisted, burned, and broken
High on your own supply

Loud, proud, and soulless
Crashing, burning, yearning

Chorus

For the moth into flame
Addicted to the fame

Crash and burn, no return, you’ll never learn

Guilty pleasure, no one measures
Up to this treasure, you’re craving forever

Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame

Burn!

Guilty pleasure, no one measures
Up to this treasure, you’re craving forever

Chorus

Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame

Addicted to the fame
