Goodnight, Moon Eyes

Thu, 07/03/2014 - 12:20 -- Kokoro

Goodnight, Moon Eyes, I guess our stars are gone

And although I'm just a black hole, I know you could be my sun

Like the moon clings to the sun to bask beneath his light,

I cling to your side like a pathetic parasite

Like the cloud collects pollution and releases all her pain,

I'm foggy and confused until I cry my acid rain

And like the rain can hide for ages in a time of bitter drought,

I grow listless, drained, and empty so I can cope with all my doubt

I understand if you see nothing in this shell that I've become,

But you're the only reason I don't feel completely numb

You make me feel alive, awake my comatose soul

Your lucid eyes eradicate the ennui null

I can't remember how it feels to not feel so dead and dull,

But somehow you've cracked my sickly saturnine skull

Remind me I'm alive; rattle my cancerous cage

But I still can't find the key to unlock clandestine rage

In the end we're all alone, but "The End" is all a lie

I never say hello so I won't have to say goodbye

I dream of sleeping on a cloud of chaos and catharsis

So I can preserve this state of surreal anagnorisis

Love is like a virus, parasitic paradox

But it's symbiotic when we keep each other up throughout the night

The stars keep growing dimmer, like the glowing flame inside

What if they collapse like the Sun and Icarus collide?

I'll try to catch some sleep because my dreams are my escape,

But I'll lie here wide awake in numbing, gnawing ache

Paranoia fills the silence, every breath I cannot take

I don't want to catch up on my sleep, I just want to catch a break

We're both clinging to the past, we're both trapped inside our minds

I wish that we could both just move on with our lives

But not leave it all behind, and not bottle it inside

Just the scabs and scars alone until they heal with time

Goodnight, Moon Eyes, I guess it's not our time...
