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
