She hates mondays, mornings and bright light
Slowly growing circles under her brown eyes
From people and the sun she tries to hide
She wears a smile through day but at night she cries
She was born under the full moon
But she feels complete only after noon
She has much to laugh and live for
Yet she cried as if there\'s a weight she bore
Oh moonchild..
Why do you hide what makes you feel alive?
Why do you hide your face when you cry?
Why do you hide everything that you write?
Why do you hide yourself, moonchild?
Oh moonchild, maybe it\'s not that deep,
Oh moonchild, maybe it\'s time to sleep.
Oh moonchild, you act like you don\'t know
The night and the stars can’t hear your sorrow
You do it all wrong, or so you say
You always find a way to ruin their day
‘That was so awkward’, you whispered in your head
But ’good morning’ was all you really said
Oh moonchild, don’t you want to be known?
Oh moonchild, step out of your “comfort zone”
Oh moonchild, Don’t you fear you’ll never be enough?
Oh moonchild, Don’t you crave a little bit of love?
She tries to talk but her tongue slips too fast
Still feels awkward about times that’ve passed
Runs to her fantasies on every given chance
Talking and crying like under a trance
Oh Moonchild, stop whining, get up
All your problems are just made up
Stop playing the victim, stop acting like prey
Just stop thinking about it, you\'ll be okay
Oh, moonchild this is how life should be
Raise your pride and self-esteem
You gotta laugh through the rain,
You gotta smile through the pain,
You’re just like anyone else, you’re just the same
Trying so hard to be different, trying to be famed
You with your brown eyes and large brown glasses
You’re falling behind and failing all your classes
And when everyone is a someone, what does anyone matter?
She acts like she didn’t see or didn\'t care
Like she didn’t notice the shift in the air
She knows they all hate it when she’s near
And looking so dumb is her greatest fear
And once she withdrew herself
She watched no one reached out
So she figured she\'s just been a pet
Only kept cause she could help out
Oh moonchild, you doesn\'t ask them anymore
Ask why they\'re laughing, Ask them to show
Ask to join in cause you want to be known
It took so little, now no one knocks at your door
Oh moonchild, trying to find yourself in the wild
Oh moonchild, Instead of crying you smile
You’re trying so hard to reconcile,
But the battles inside of you, Moonchild.
Look at the Moonchild, she\'s feeling so low
She\'s crying under sheets and hugging her pillow
She\'ll write all about then bury it far below
Cuz she’s scared they\'ll worry if they got to know
Oh, moonchild no one really cares
Cry all you want then wipe off your tears
Wash your face and say water got in your eyes
And so they never suspect she even cried
Oh Moonchild, you know you can\'t ever hate
She\'s been blessed by some cruel twist of fate
Cursed to always understand, to always know
The side of everyone that they refuse to show
Oh moonchild, aren\'t you getting bored of hiding?
Just like all your friends are bored of you
But you\'re still paying dumb and laughing
Maybe the problem has always been you
Every night after the clock hits ten,
She grabs a paper and a capless pen
Tear stains smudge ink on every page
She writes till it suppresses her rage
Oh Moonchild you\'re not a kid anymore
Go get a life that\'s worth living for
You gotta handle it like the adult you\'ve become
first comes your job, your study, your income
You gotta stop crying when they say shut up,
Get over them, you\'re sticking in the mud
They\'re just joking, they\'re just teasing you
even though they know you hurt when they do.
Oh moonchild, she craves to be hugged
She craves to be told she\'s okay
But more often she\'s told she sucked
Told she\'s always in the way
They don\'t remember whether she was there
when they were all laughing without a care
And somehow there always one less chair
And the moonchild\'s always left alone and bare
Oh moonchild, its eleven past three,
It\'s getting really late, this saturday night
How much longer will I write about myself
Like a self obsessed maniac forcing a fight
I\'ve always been in love with the moon
Now I miss wondering why she followed me
Maybe I\'ll join her someday soon
Maybe she\'ll always be my fantasy
