lyrics

a massive flock of moths
moved into my closet
filling my favorite sweater with many holes
he was with me that windy day
that i bough it
he said he liked the softness of the wool

but softness starts to fade
and soon comes the rain and musty fabric

how could anyone know me
that many years and suddenly forget it all away
how could anyone blame me
im sorry for apologizing
but i shouldnt have to apologize at all

his sweatshirt still sits
in the back of my closet
it waits for a shivered arm to fill its sleeves
but ive grown tougher skin
since the day i bought it
from vermont winter snow and autumn leaves

how could anyone know me
that many years and suddenly become a floater in my eye
how could anyone believe
that i would be ok after what you did to me
what you did to me wasnt cool

never felt so betrayed
guess i gotta stay awake again tonight
circle around a cave
androconia might fade away tonight

how could i have thought that i knew you
all those years
just for you to leave the way you did that night
and you're still hiding from the truth
like a moth hides in a sweater's sleeve

i hope you crawl out of your sleeve soon.
