Lyrics Held in a Lunar Synthesis - Dawn Ray'd

Held in a Lunar Synthesis

The nights are long and unwanted
A blur of troublesome sights exhausting
The dark side of what it is to dream
Rest that I wish I never needed
A task, a hurdle that racks the mind
I love the night but not the visions
Not the apparitions
A thousand times I’ll ne’er do well
And my weakness is always at the centre
Oh!
if you could see these scenes
Each trait insufferable
Inability displayed a thousand ways
My inability displayed a thousand ways!
Daybreak finds it different
The sun grows the lie in my every word
A shadowed husk swathed in saccharine cloth
The years have seen to it that the mask won’t slip
But the moon sees the mind stripped naked
The pleasing veil gone and what is‚ remains
What it is to hate to sleep
