Lyric

My sister didn't follow what Mama had to say

She wept beside me as the light began to stray

When the moon rose up to claim its silver throne

I stared back in silence, cold and all alone

Watching the shadows crawl across the floor

"Someday we’ll leave this place," you used to tell me so

The "someday" that we planned, the places we would go

But you vanished into the dark, you took the higher ground

And left me here in the dust, where nothing’s to be found

Abandoned in the echo of your ghost

Moon—where nothing has a name

Moon—we’re all just wild grass, part of the same

(Ah—) You don’t have to remember, you don’t have to stay

To be "special" is a cage that gets in the way

Tethered by the labels that they force us to play

Just let the memory fade away

Do you remember the first time our fingers intertwined?

Mom’s "perfect little girl" was never what you’d find

There’s no such thing as a "good child" in this town

Do you remember the first kiss before it all went down?

Moon—my "gentle one" is drifting somewhere else tonight

Moon—I’ve tucked my sister in, away from the light

(Uu—)

Just leave me behind, let the story go cold

Forget every promise, every lie that was told

I’m so tired of the weight, I’m so tired of the lies

I’m closing my eyes under the hollow skies

(Uu—)

(Uu—)

Moon—your "kindness" was just a shadow in the rain

Moon—all you left behind was the ghost of the pain
