Moonlight Understands

Flashlights over sand
Moonlight understands
A machine in place of a breathing girl
Footsteps over sand
Grasping in the dark
Hoping that you're far
Don't let me find you here
Not this day or year
Moonlight understands

Why are you here?
Why aren't you home?

Traps are overdone
Plans are overcome
Moon collects its toll

Then I see your face
With that frozen stare
All the memories scraped
All the dreams never dared

A machine in place
Of a breathing girl
No feelings left to face
No stories left to make

Why are you here?
Why aren't you home?

Traps are overdone
Plans are overcome
Moon collects its toll
