the moon song

Atlas

I am not the same 
I wear a different name
I am ashamed 
of who I became
I don't know how to explain why i could still want things to have remained

I'll never know what it's like to let you go
But I hope you know it took every part of me to say no

There is a disarray 
to my mood everyday
I know that I'm a cliché
but I'm just in dismay
So I stare blankly in pain wondering why there are just no words to explain why I'm feeling this way

I'll never know what it's like to let you go
But I hope you know it took every part of me to say no

Every Part of Me

no one really cares

(i wrote this in 10 minutes, recorded it in 5.)
(its still messy but i wanted it gone.)
(it's better messy anyways.)

Have I always been a chore?
Was it like this before?
Frantic hands on my skin,
You'd exude my name like its a sin.
You were panting my name.

Dissolve in shades of green
Memories knelt at
The guillotine.

I felt small and weak,
Kissing your cheek.
When I said goodbye,
You rolled your eyes-
And i cried
On the drive home.

Dissolve in shades of green
Memories knelt at
The guillotine.

Have I always been a chore?
Was it like this before?
Frantic hands on my skin,
You'd exude my name like a sin.
You whisper my name
Now it's not that same.

Lyrics:
if ice was warm
and winter could burn an iris to its core
cool is the warmest flame
it melts the blame
without shame
we cause violet fires, it seems-

-we’re but a dream
emerald eyes and purple skies
they gleam
mountain breeze, fall to me knees
i stare in admiration
familiar smell i know too well
a love that often bleeds

[chorus]
two more steps you’ll pass me by
and i’ll awake with tired eyes
my fear of loneliness is no surprise
i sit on a chalkboard roof
as skies turns a darker blue
i fill my lazy head with thoughts of you
i lit the violet fire to clean

in truth i lie
in a freezing bed of longing i hide
fool is the only name
that i’m to claim
we’re the same
so flows the violet flame again-

-there is rain
majesty and disbelief remain
holy means your soul’s pristine
unearthly man redeems
hubris of a god above
my own relief is love

[chorus]

you caused the violet fire
he caused the violet fire
i caused the violet fire in me

Violet Fire
