Moonchild;

ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

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 cries at night

 

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


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 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

 

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

 

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.

 

Oh, Moonchild...
