The Moon/Awake

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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?) [Chorus] 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 truth, deliver me you [Verse 2] How'd we lose our place? Who decided our fate? Decay until we we're erased, idly wasting away? Well, the nightmare's ending soon (Where are you?) [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] (Who are you waiting for?) (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 (Who are you waiting for?) When sins of sons to fathers come, too heavy is the weight The spirit split in two [Outro] 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 [Instrumental]
