Moonlight Is a Warning

Silver light on shaking ground The quiet feels too loud Even stars look terrified Of what you’ve done to the sky You say we’re free I feel the seams Pulling at reality Moonlight is a warning Every shadow knows the price If we steal another morning Something else will die tonight Moonlight is a warning Love is never consequence-free If we take a future for ourselves What fate will we unseat Your eyes glow with borrowed fire You bend fate like broken wire Yet in your arms I feel the shiver Of a world begging to expire You say we won I feel the sun Bleeding long before it’s come Moonlight is a warning Every shadow knows the price If we steal another morning Something else will die tonight Moonlight is a warning Love is never consequence-free If we take a future for ourselves What fate will we unseat I want forever More than breath More than fear More than death But the sky is trembling As if it knows We were meant To let go Moonlight is a warning Still, I hold you through the dread If the cost of love is chaos Let the chaos come instead Moonlight is a warning Yet I choose the danger near If the end must come for loving Then I’ll end with you right here
