I live in a distant fantasy
I play the role as whoever I awake
You see, the reality I lead is something I can't shake
I stand in slow motion while the rest of the world keeps spinning
Unsure of who I am or where's the beginning
Feelings only lukewarm
Surrounded by a catastrophic storm
Opening umbrellas inside
'Cause I can't seem to escape the rain
Resisting all the grudges and the pain
I never understood the mantra "fight or flight"
'Cause I was never one for confrontation
And I've never been ready for the departure
I've only been one to wait and harbor
So here I lay atop a bed of flowers
The dark cloud hovering above begins to shower
Watering every plant and every seed
Blossoming a new path from my lonely tower
Everyone knows there's beauty in a storm
*But nobody ever tells you what it's like to be so worn

She loved him like roses
She radiated light and heaven
Waiting for the stress to lessen
She liked to stay in the dark
Refusing to feel a spark
Always reaching for something broken
Her dreams never meant to be woken
He always did the same
Making himself impossible to claim
Radiating contentment and clarity
But still he was haunted and alone in the dark
I always appreciated his sincerity
He was nothing short of a king
How he'd enter a room and the girls would sing
Still he remained clueless to his charm
Always humble, afraid of causing harm
She ran and ran after the king
Incredibly impossible to seize
He wore his heart tucked away
Locked in a lonely box, meant to lay and decay
Hidden from every touch
Can't you see all the roses growing from your chest?
Can't you feel the thorns,
When you try and catch your breath?
She loved him like roses
Always beautiful,
Always sharp with her proposes

From the beginning of time she was kissed by the sunlight
But even the moon sought love from such an unexpected muse
For she beamed of life and beauty during the day
But haunted in the shadows
Playing with fate every chance she could get
How could the moon not find love
In the twisted angel, fallen from above
Intrigued by her angelic face
And the way her every touch was full of life
Planting sunflowers everywhere she goes
Her laugh danced with demons
Always testing the waters
But never taking a sip
Always such a tease
But the devil watched
Waiting patiently for a kiss by such a rose
He'd wrap her up and hear her call
For the sun couldn't protect her
It was past her time to go
The devil scooped her up and away he fled
Ready to cut the needle from the thread
The moon glimmered at the sight of her plea
Begging "please don't take me, please just leave me be"
That's when the moon granted her, her wish
Gave her a kiss right on her wrist
From then on she was thought to be a Moon Child
Dark hair and light eyes
Just like her soul that lived inside
Parallel to the dark love radiating from the moon
Fueled by the sun
Just like the Moon Child once was
For Misery had found the child, once held by the sun
Once filled with light and love
Sunflowers now tainted by ivy
How someone once filled with something so mighty
Could suddenly feel so tiny
So tell me little Moon Child,
*Will you take a chance with the devil?
