The Dear Hunter - The Moon/Awake lyrics
[The Dear Hunter - The Moon/Awake lyrics]
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?)
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
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?)
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
(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
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
