lyrics

It's just another normal day, they all seem to be the same
Last week’s coming back tomorrow and tomorrow’s yesterday
Came the night I saw her, saw her floating by
Obliquity be damned, I followed her to the sky
I pray that she’s a vision, and only in my mind
Cause if she’s not I’m lost until the stars are realigned.
I hope she’s in my mind this time

Cause I don’t care that the moon already found a sun
Her lonely orbit shows the super nova hasn’t won
Maybe the moon stays out of fear of fading away
And maybe I’m the one to help the moon with her escape
Yeah with her escape

And now I’m searching for a glimpse of a face I haven’t seen
Liberation of a smile that is solely meant for me
Am I being selfish trying to divide
The sun and moon forever just so I can change the tide?
Of a life so empty, with so much love to give
How can I say what’s best when I don’t know how best to live?
I hope she’s in my mind

Cause I don’t care that the moon already found a sun
Her lonely orbit shows the super nova hasn’t won
Maybe the moon stays out of fear of fading away
And maybe I’m the one to help the moon with her escape
Yeah with her escape

I’m pericynthian Artemis
And I can’t afford to miss the days that we are so near
Dreaming only of the lips that will finally eclipse, my single greatest fear.
Woke up again this morning, I think so anyway
For all I know I’m still asleep and dreaming life away

Cause I don’t care that the moon already found a sun
Her lonely orbit shows the super nova hasn’t won
Maybe the moon stays out of fear of fading away
And maybe I’m the one to help the moon with her escape

Cause I don’t care that the moon already found a sun
Her lonely orbit shows the super nova hasn’t won
Maybe the moon stays out of fear of fading away
And maybe I’m the one to help the moon with her escape
Yeah with her escape
And I am dreaming life away
And I'm still dreaming life away
