( The Sun ) “Son”

The moonlight used to comfort me


Less the light and how little the light glowed


Darkness crowded me

I liked it at the time

I think it's because I blended in

My heart seeped out the very thing it was crowded by

So then it could truly hide


The light of the moon was just enough for me to see

but dark enough to be below the tide


The sun brought a cold toe-to-toe with my emotions

I ran from it daily

Cause when I didn't it felt as if everything was in slow motion

Hoping it never could get to me

I'd keep on going


You knew that

So you came as a moon

But shined brighter than any sun

I looked into your eyes with

Every single thing

I've done


For you knew it was the only way I wouldn't run from you

The moon you came but “The Son” you knew

For even below my tide I couldn't be so blue


I used to hold onto what I once knew


Forevermore

Now your moonshine is all I'll ever know
