[Verse 1]
What's on the dashboard, Heide?
What are you watching, Heide?
My windows shake as you close the door
The pressure in the room has changed
[Verse 2]
What are you hearing, Gracie?
Are there words that can take it away?
Train carriage filled up with moths
That form a halo 'round the head
Of a woman with her knitting on her lap
Why'd I have to see that?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm checking every curb
With the corner of my shoe
So I don't fall into an abyss
When I reach the end of you
I know that it's half crazy
That's why I want it more
And I just will not be told
I know what I saw
[Chorus]
Open doors and out they pour
A thousand paper bag
Coloured anti-gravity
Pieces of confetti fill my sky
I see twin birds when I think of you most times
And opals fill my eyes
I guess I wanted more
From what I saw
[Verse 3]
Hear as your head hits the floor
Little one follows me down the hall
Too little just to see the pool of blood
That forms a halo round the head
Of the woman that we love most in the world
That makes two little girls
[Pre-Chorus]
I've checked the morning paper
I watched the evening news
I know that I'm alone
When it comes to loving you
I know that it's half crazy
That's why I want it more
And I just will not be told
I know what I saw
[Chorus]
Open doors and out they pour
A thousand paper bag
Coloured anti-gravity
Pieces of confetti fill my sky
I see twin birds when I think of you most times
And opals fill my eyes
I guess I wanted more from
What I saw

Jeanie Pilkington:
People think it’s me talking to my bandmates.
Gracie Sinclair:
It’s me talking to myself. I’m Gracie and I’m singing, so I say my own name. ‘Moth Song’ is about losing the plot. It’s about wanting more from the relationships that you have around you and feeling very heartbroken...
