The Moon / Awake Songtext

von The Dear Hunter

This soul's a stowaway
At the heels of a gaze
Their eyes betrayed in the arcane
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 are lost on you
(Where are you?)
I'd bare you my heart if I'd know 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 out fate?
Decay until we're erased?
Idly wasting away...
Well, the nightmare's ending soon.
(Where are you?)
I'd bare you my heart
If I'd know 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
(Who are you waiting for?)

If the younger me just could've seen the trouble I'd create
He'd never have agreed carry on
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
