Moon Doom

[Intro] I smiled at the moon It smiled back But I know its plan It’s getting closer ⸻ [Verse 1] They dance with paper faces Their joy is out of tune The jester grins and paces He hums a looping tune The bells are bending sideways The light begins to bend They say it’s just a party But I’ve seen how it ends ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Nobody’s looking up Nobody hears the boom The clock hands blur like secrets Still ticking toward the room ⸻ [Chorus] Doom moon, moon doom It’s closer every time I sleep Doom moon, moon doom It watches while we laugh and weep Doom moon, moon doom The sky keeps pulling on the string Doom moon, moon doom We dance and don’t feel anything ⸻ [Verse 2] The colors smear like paint now The masks begin to crack A voice behind the curtain Says time won’t give it back The children sing in spirals Their songs begin to fray I tried to break the cycle But the world just wants to play ⸻ [Bridge] Tick tick tick And still they twirl The moon is just A grinning pearl Falling slow And growing near They smile like It’s not even here ⸻ [Final Chorus] Doom moon, moon doom The world forgets to hold its breath Doom moon, moon doom A lullaby beneath the death ⸻ [Outro] So we’ll dance until the end With ribbons in our hands The moon will take the final step It only wants to dance
