Dearest moon, must you leave so soon?
to duck beneath the ground
and reappear in a distant land.
my mind is bound
as I discover I'm in so much deeper than I planned.
Another restless day leads to another sleepless night.
Let's go stare off into space
and lose our sense of time.
Never felt so out of place
than when I claimed the baggage that was mine.
It burns so bad, but baby I've never felt better
Trying to teach you what I've learned
that nothing we know is real.
Played with matches and ended up getting burned
but it just showed me how much I can't feel.
Casting shadows that haunt me at night,
you allow me to exaggerate,
let me mask the indecent.
Tell my mind to contemplate,
as I hide my true content.
**I am calm and waiting for the sun's approach.
