The Moon / Awake

This soul's a stowaway

At the heels of a gaze

Their eyes betrayed in the arcade

Misdirection pervades

And my image fades of you

(Where are you)

Could we return to the hymn of the lake?

Grave refrains of impossible love?

Not believing what they'd say

Haunting heralds whose words were lost on you

(Where are you?)

I'd bare you my heart

If I knew that it still was there

I'm too nervous to look

Too afraid to close the book

So take all the wind from my lungs if you're out of air

Just deliver me the truth

Just deliver me you

How'd we lose our place?

Who decided our fate

Decay until we we're erased?

Idly wasting away

Well the nightmares ending soon

(Where are you?)

I'd bare you my heart if I knew that it was still there

I'm too nervous to look

Too afraid to close the book

So take all the wind from my lungs if you're out of air

Just deliver me truth

I'll deliver me you

(Who are you waiting for)

If the younger me just could have seen

The trouble i'd create

He'd never have agreed to carry on

When sins of sons to fathers come

Too heavy is the weight

The spirit split in two

Dear apparition

In this fleeting flash

Must I burn the earth

Before you turn to ash?

Would such extremes repair our broken past?

The silver lining seldom lies

In sight too plain to see

But trust our story's end can bring redemption for the pain endured
