​Backlit By Moonlight / (2019 demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You ask me to dance, but you're a couple drinks too early You shoot me a glance, but I can't tell whether you're flirting I remember what you wore, what you drank and how it tastes But I can't remember why on Earth I let those chances go to waste [Chorus] Listen to the usual music, sittin' with the usual crowd They're both a little bit too annoying and a little bit too loud But all of the monotony that keeps me nauseated Holy shit, if I can see your smile one more time then I can take it [Verse 2] Backlit by the moonlight With a golden aura from a distant streetlight I could starе at you 'til sunrise Hoping that you'd never look back up and rеalize [Verse 3] Just how many times can I pretend that it's not hurting? The pain I feel is something real, a constant state of yearning They say that hindsight's 20/20 and that human connection's rudimentary But my vision's gotten blurry since the 11th Vodka Raspberry [Chorus] Listen to the usual bullshit, comin' from the usual boys They're getting on my nerves now as they slowly fade to white noise And though all this cacophony and pain that makes my ears ring Holy shit, it's worth it if for one moment I can hold this feeling [Verse 4] On the edge of midnight Praying that we'll never see the sunlight Well away from daylight, with the backdrop of the never-ending twilight [Verse 5] But there's no such thing as happy endings in life They're just distractions from the endings inside And so I'll just keep on pretending I'm fine Resighting to my own reflection my lies [Outro] Tell me that I'm dreaming Tell me that it's all a lie Tell me what I'm feeling Tell me that you think I'm alive
