lyrics

The Moon

Years left spent,
In the bitterness left you broke not bent,
No it's never enough to be hurt,
Emotionally drained from the pain,
Of thoughts of being alone leading to suicide,
Your life is more than a means to an end

I know the things you've done in the dark,
scars that you carry aren't the hardest to spot,
I know that you think I probably forgot the seconds on your clock,
Lost time is never found,
And I'm sorry for that,
But my hand is still there for you to grab,
I'll pick you up from the ground,
No matter the cost

Loneliness has become the acid thats eating you away,
A cold dose of medication to keep the demons from coming out to play,
But is the numbness in your heart ever going to leave?
How can you keep fighting another day,
If don't want to win?

Why can't you let me help you?
Why can't you let me get close?

Maybe it is because your heart is like broken shutters that are almost closed,
No matter how hard you tried to chain the darkness inside,
It had a way of filtering through,
Like the sun in early mornings,
And like the ivy that crept up the walls of your mind,
Through your bloodstream,
Through your veins,
Every day feels the same,
A constant cycle of pain

Just take my hand,
And we can wander the streets,
Picking apart the meaning of the feelings in our hearts,
Or simply forget about the world,
And listen to the ocean,
Or stare at the stars

Take life a day at a time,
Just like the moon,
You will survive,
You'll be okay soon
