I'm a lunatic,
Driven mad by the phases of the moon.
As the moon grows to full
I find myself manic,
As it grows to new,
I find myself becoming dysphoric.
I can feel facade
Slipping
I can feel the veil
Ripping
They say to fear those whose eyes
Grow dark like pools of midnight,
And to cower from those
Who have no fear for fire.
Understand my midnight eyes
Have never once feared a flame.
And though it was a fumble of my tongue,
I once told a priest during confession,
"Forgive me father, for I am sin."
And never have accidental words been so true.
Drive me insane by the moonlight,
And I'll love and live in eternal night.

I'm a lunatic,
Driven mad by the phases of the moon.
As the moon grows to full
I find myself manic,
As it grows to new,
I find myself becoming dysphoric.
I can feel facade
Slipping
I can feel the veil
Ripping
They say to fear those whose eyes
Grow dark like pools of midnight,
And to cower from those
Who have no fear for fire.
Understand my midnight eyes
Have never once feared a flame.
And though it was a fumble of my tongue,
I once told a priest during confession,
"Forgive me father, for I am sin."
And never have accidental words been so true.
Drive me insane by the moonlight,
And I'll love and live in eternal night.
I don't even get it.
