Under the Moonlight

Hidden behind the lace of moonlight
Where faces are tainted in forbidding lost
I run around in circles over and over
Hoping to cover all my losing cost

They don't know how the rain sings my name
They don't know how the dark kisses my heart
All they see is a mirror, an obscene clone
With enough smiles to play her part

All I need, is some truth, some love from high up
Some strength to start up my engine again
To brace myself against the falling steps
Some hopeful omen to tell me when

Where can I hide my mourning confusion
Where scorching torches cannot embrace
The fact my soul is tearing piece by piece
And my smile dangling in a pitiful grace

They don't know the chains around my mind
They don't know how I wander alone at night
But the moonlight knows every step I take
Closer to the awakening dark delight

*I'll return favors
