Under a moon unlike any other,
A blood red moon to stand your ground,
Face to face in front of a shadowed foe,
Toothy grin to scare your pants off.

Bow down,
It's the end,
No more to see,
No more to be,
Dont be a fool,
Don't be a hero.

Steely eyes glow through the dark maroon,
These city streets turned to ghost paths,
Not one to find a body or even bones,
Better know you're not going home.

Find me,
I'll be here,
If I have to lose,
If I have to bleed,
Don't call my name,
Don't call for help.

Keep them coming 'round,
Keep me entertained,
Keep the tensions high,
Keep my cheeks red as the sheets.

Compliment me,
Take me out to coffee,
Fall in love with me,
And watch me leave.

Keep them satisfied,
Keep me depressed,
Keep the music low,
Keep my sadness at the end of the bay.

They keep falling for me,
And I'm just not ready,
I don't understand,
Just what I've done right,
I just wish they could do the same to me.

Compliment me,
Take me out to coffee,
Fall in love with me,
And watch me leave.
How is it that these strangers find me so 'perfect'
When Im this strange, traumatized, adult.

Are we making the right mistakes?
Are we driving the wrong direction?
Nothing is certain but everything’s treasure.
Donuts and dinner to graveyard simmer.

Autumn stars and rising moon,
Rising stars and autumn moon,
I’m just so sick of feeling so blue,
You’re just so blue of feeling so sick.

There's a soul inside the reflection,
Ocean eyes that bring destruction,
A tsunami wave against his treasures,
Living on higher ground to avoid detection.

There's a boy at the end of the driveway,
He's telling me all about the Warden,
And how he's brought houses to ruins,
He's telling me to look out for my loved ones.

Through no fault but mine,
Ive eviscerated my hope from youth,
Do you believe my manipulative lies,
Cause I sure hope you know I'm telling the truth.

Who I am,
Is who you tell me,
Insult me and break these teeth,
My gums will bleed.

Goodnight,
Tomorrow is not my last day,
Though it'll feel like my first,
I'm sorry I'm so stubborn,
I truly don't mean you harm.

There's Iron in this water,
Falling through my throat,
Spilling on my chest,
Someone convince me,
That I'm enough.

Silly little daydreams,
Give me all this hope,
When I don't know,
Where I'm going to turn.

There's marker on my arm,
Faded off of my skin,
Staining at the last layer,
Someone convince me,
That dying's not next.

Silly little daydreams,
Give me all this hope,
When I don't know,
Where I'm going to turn.
