It's Only The Moon Lyrics

When I lived in his Kingdom of dust He would rule over us like a tyrant In the absence of words I would whisper away to my self Saying prayers for and end Or simply pretend to be sleeping And the palms of my hands read stranger than fiction Each trace of memory gagged and bound And left to drown it's always too soon Each ray of sunlight broke this dream But it's not what it seems It's only the moon Unlike children at play No one dare stain the silence with laughter As if winter descends On the great expectation of hope I would dream of a world I could merely erase with my fingers And the palms of my hands read stranger than fiction Each trace of memory gagged and bound And left to drown it's always too soon Each ray of sunlight broke this dream But it's not what it seems It's only the moon
