Leaves so effortlessly float
to the ground when they fall
dancing their way to the end of their days
like nothing is wrong at all

I want to be like a leaf
so graceful in the wind
For they live in peace and learn to accept
that all things come to an end
(but then they begin again)

Eat.
Sleep.
Repeat.
The cycle of our defeat.

Eat.
Sleep.
Repeat.

Nothing more and nothing less
The life we live is all a guess
Do we really know anything
Or is life but a dream?

The sky might suggest that something more is there
What I'm searching for is a reason to care

Eat.
Sleep.
Repeat.

Please tell me that this isn't it
Let me know there is more than this

Drink until you feel better,
Then have another
Just to be clear that your problems are gone,
Your headache is no longer,
The nausea has surrendered.

You will forget about whatever demons are drowning you
and float up to a place where nothing's bad around you

But be careful with this vice,
Because while intoxication might feel nice,
It will never last
Soon you will be back
at the bottom
With your forgotten problems
Weighing more than ever

So remember,
Down the drinks
and forget to think
about the madness in your head
Then drink some more, and then repeat,
Repeat until you're dead

I used to be a full moon
Exposed,
Completely illuminated by the sun
I showed you my all
And asked for nothing in return
But hoped for your admiration
Or at least some acknowledgment
I wanted you to stare at me
Like I was the light in your darkness
But now I am new

I am a new moon
Hidden by the Earth,
Away from reach of the sun
I know now that darkness
Keeps you safe from the unknown
Because although it is still there
At least you won’t see it coming
And although I will soon open up again
Next time I’ll know better

You shine like the moon in my eyes
Your subtle illumination is modest yet lovely
Graceful is your presence
And so effortlessly beautiful

Your mystical ways, they draw me in
Light a moth to the light, blindly trapped in your rays
So blissfully unaware of your influence
Yet I am content

New or full, complete darkness or light
I know you are there
But the question I ask, is if you feel me as I feel you
Or if some things are better left unknown

Ignore us, your problems, and we’ll lurk your corners
Dads and Moms with too many bills
They lost the thrills of being alive
All they want to do is sleep.

I don’t understand you
But I guess that’s half the fun
You keep my on my toes
Always guessing when you’ll run
And then you run

I don’t like the way you treat me
But I guess that’s half the fun
You’re the perfect blend of kind and cruel
And then you’ll leave me when you’re done
But you aren't the only one (I've been left before)

I don’t know what’s going on
But I guess that’s half the fun
You’re good at this tricky game you play
And I’ve been trying not to jump the gun

But I think you’ve already won
You've already won

(I can do it again)
