MONOCHROME MOON

Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Matthew C. Brown

Wakened by the wind of chances never taken
Hiding a thousand bitter fears
Under the sheets that God's forsaken
Watching it all just disappear
I shuffle through one more dress rehearsal
Living to please the status quo
Espresso and perfume now leave me unchanged
For the first time, it seems that I'm alone

CHORUS
Oh, Monochrome Moon watches over me
Those neon nights turn to shades of gray
Monochrome Moon watches over me
And grayscale now falls on the words I pray
No going back, no pretending I'm unfazed
No way things will ever be okay
Monochrome Moon casts a lonely shadow
And I know there's no happy ending tomorrow

Trembling at the silence of things taken for granted
Scattered dreams lie beyond my reach
Lost in a kingdom on a lonely planet
Where I mock the mortal leash
I scuffle through one more bad reversal
Stifling the truths that I need to hear
No more care or worry can be found or given
And no more salt can be found in these tears

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
If I take a deep breath and close my eyes
I see whats possible start to rise
And truths I've forgotten come back to life
But then its all gone as I open my eyes

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
