The Moon is Getting Closer

[Verse] A lone howl interrupts the silence The trees move with creaky unease A harvest moon is rising And suddenly I’m going weak in the knees [Prechorus] This feeling overwhelms my senses A strange scent appears in the air Shadows jump in the distance There’s something unnatural out there [Chorus] The moon is getting closer Creeping up on me every time I turn away Nearer than the darkness Pressing on my window pane The moon is getting closer [Verse 2] I retreat from the windows Tell myself there’s nothing to fear I know It’s all in my head But there’s something unnatural in here [Bridge] Moon shadows take over the fields and the road trapping me here Paralyzed and alone [Chorus] The moon is getting closer Creeping up on me every time I close my eyes Nearer than the darkness Pressing on my skin and veins The moon is getting closer [Bridge 2] The transformation begins and I drop to the floor My hands claw at the boards but they’re not my fingers anymore [electric guitar solo] [Chorus] The moon is getting closer Creeping up on me every time I blink my eyes I’m surrounded by darkness I’m afraid these walls can’t keep you safe The moon is getting closer closer [Verse 3] The breezes grow quiet and the light pierces my soul The walls rattle and hum and my blood burns like coal Gravity weakens and I lose my grip on the floor I smell blood and I’m pulled out the door [outtro]
