“Spores in the Moonlight”

[Verse 1] Streetlights flicker on the boulevard Cold wind cuttin’ through a broken heart Phone still glowin’ with the last goodbye Same old ghosts in the back of my mind Walkin’ nowhere with my hood pulled down Midnight drift through a dead-end town Tiny capsules in my shaking hand Tryin’ to understand who I am [Pre-Chorus] And the sky went silver Trees began to breathe Every thought I carried Started loosening from me [Chorus] Spores in the moonlight Floatin’ through the dark Finally saw the silence Was louder than my scars Spent my whole life running Beggin’ to be seen But peace don’t come from strangers It grows inside of me [Verse 2] Neon signs melted into stars Felt the universe inside my arms Every cruel word faded into dust Every fake love lost its grip on us Saw my reflection in a puddled street Didn’t hate the face lookin’ back at me For the first time in a thousand nights I didn’t need somebody else to feel alive [Pre-Chorus] And the waves kept rollin’ Through my chest so slow Like the earth was whisperin’ “Let the old you go” [Chorus] Spores in the moonlight Floatin’ through the dark Finally saw the silence Was louder than my scars Spent my whole life running Beggin’ to be seen But peace don’t come from strangers It grows inside of me [Bridge] No more chasin’ empty validation No more drowning in imagination I was starving for a hand to hold While ignoring my own soul [Final Chorus] Spores in the moonlight Cool air in my lungs City faded underneath me Like a dream undone Now the night feels holy Not lonely like before I came out of the darkness Not needing anymore
