Lyric

Pretending not to see, pretending not to hear

High above the world, keeping my vision clear

Just like the moon, silent in the velvet night

Never lamenting, even when out of sight

Waning and waxing, fading into the blue

I’m playing the part that was scripted by you

What you desire is a person like the moon

Distant and perfect, a quiet, silver tune

But my own longings are just "selfishness" to you

Pretending not to see, pretending not to hear

Like the moon in the sky, so far and yet so near

Enveloping it all, sinking to the floor

Deep as the ocean, where the shadows explore

Deep, so deep, where the heavy secrets sleep

Not minding the sadness, or the promises you keep

Ebbing and flowing, drying up on the sand

I’m playing the part that was never really planned

What you desire is a person like the sea

Broad and forgiving, swallowing the "me"

But my own longings are just "selfishness" to you

Enveloping it all, sinking deep and low

Like the ocean waves, with nowhere left to go

If there were only a single word of kindness

My heart could be wide, my spirit could be deep

But I’m crushed by anxiety, lost in the blindness

My heart turns ugly, with secrets I must keep

Distorted and twisted, hated for my truth

Losing the light and the beauty of my youth

What you desire is a person like the moon

A silent reflection that’ll vanish all too soon

My own desires are just "selfishness" to you

So I’ll pretend once more, not to see or hear

Like the moon in the sky... fading as I disappear

Like the moon

Like the sea

Silent
