secrets for the moonlight

Lyrics

do you ever sit so still you see the leaves shake past the window sill, like I do
do you ever hold your breath, exhaled till theres nothing left cause I do
I am gasping through the sounds, hands grasping towards the ground,
Gentle echoes of what my bones know is true

But I cry
late at night
when rain drips down too calmly
I’m hiding in plain sight
the only time I’m real

So can you hear
What I’m too scared to hold
secrets for the moonlight
Whispers for the bold

have you ever paced the room until the walls become a tomb, like I have
and did you ever drive through town, seeking out new ways to drown, cause I have.
The house is mine, but not my own a place to live, but not my home
And the lights are going out before they’re due

But I cry
Every night,
the silhouettes astound me
I’m hiding in plain sight
The only time I’m real

You’ll never hear
What I’m too scared to hold
My secrets for the moonlight
My whispers for the bold

are you bold enough for me
can we stretch the time we need to see this through
or did i wake too slow,
while I was sitting still
did I miss out on you
