Hope below the moonlight
Invested in nonsense
Believing if there's hope
Life won't need to end
Childhood, so sweet,
put holes in my teeth
Innocent nightmares
bear cruel realities
They grow there
Hope below the moonlight
Invested in nonsense
Believing if there's hope
Passion grows, endlessly
She was wrong
Fire gets the rain
Smiles wither
Teeth rot
Empathy opens
Invites love
Invites pain
Time expedites
The threshold dips lower & lower
The balance upsets
Love disappears
Pain envelopes
Now I can't feel
Why would I
not want that?

Hope below the moonlight
Invested in nonsense
Believing if there's hope
Life won't need to end
Childhood, so sweet,
put holes in my teeth
Innocent nightmares
bear cruel realities
They grow there
Hope below the moonlight
Invested in nonsense
Believing if there's hope
Passion grows, endlessly
She was wrong
Fire gets the rain
Smiles wither
Teeth rot
Empathy opens
Invites love
Invites pain
Time expedites
The threshold dips lower & lower
The balance upsets
Love disappears
Pain envelopes
Now I can't feel
Why would I
not want that?
