In the Shadow of a Fleeting Moon

is this the dream you meant to lend me?
this sour transition from your night to dawn
I never thought of you as twisted
but when you made us all your pawns

I finally see the thorns you spoke of
the agonizing pain you meant
the darkness as the sun corroded
this dream was not one to be lent

but how can you pretend to love me
when I don't even love myself
I used to wish I was just like you
but now I wish for someone else

the day before the sun came crawling
back into the chambers of an empty moon
we sat back as the sky came falling
downs from the mattress spread out with a plume

we tried to map out all the unknowns
in the calm before the beast awoke
I thought this was the perfect headrest
so soothing were the words you spoke

so when you say you really love me
as I hide behind this see-through shawl
will you offer up your shoulder for me
and can I let my feelings sprawl?

and I've been thinking of a world
where there's no sun
a world without a surface where
we fall, but never hit the ground

and I've been having dreams
I can't remember what they mean
we run, we fall, we crawl, we stumble
forward, forward and we scream

I scream
Icecream
the summer's nearly here
