The Moon Has No Light Of Its Own

(앨범: When The Smoke Clears - 2021)

Sometimes
I think about losing you
And picking out the drapes for our home
And when I go there
I can't help but remember
The moon has no light of its own

It's a cold mass in an endless abyss
Waiting on a sunbeam for meaning
You're where I go for that feeling

Maybe that's borderline codependent
But who would I be if your light suddenly ended
Stranded in the Milky Way alone
The moon has no light of its own

When I was young
I was scared of the dark
I'd cover up my eyes at the movies
When the violin shrieks
And the floorboards creak
The killer is quietly moving

Or worse yet, the screen starts to crawl
With venomous armies of spiders
And loud swelling dark synthesizers

Maybe that's borderline arachnophobic
But if I lost you
That's the headspace I'm going
Terrified and floating alone
The moon has no light of its own

Holding on for dear life
Every night you disappear
Hoping that the dice falls
On the side that keeps you here

Please, never leave me alone
I've no idea where I'd go
A cratered, abandoned old stone
The moon has no light of its own
