Talking To The Moon

He's battered and bruised
She's lost and abused
They silently scream out for comfort

Is it strange? They don't know
How it feels to be loved?
Is it odd that they cringe
At the touch of others?

So why don't we talk to the moon?
Fly out the window
Jump out of the room
Why don't we dance with the stars?
Twirl around Venus
And jump over Mars

It's such a simple way,
To masquerade the pain
Just let your mind go numb
Let your thoughts be free
And once the silence,
Makes your ears bleed…

Raise your eyes to the sky
And through the tears in your eyes
Such a beautiful thing…
Talking to the moon

Mommy left without saying goodbye
And you're told "it's your fault" bout' a thousand times
Just accept it…
And try to be perfect…

Daddy keeps drinking all night and day
He slaps you and throws your life away
He says that he's sorry, once he wakes up
But you just can't accept that, when he refills his cup

So why don't we talk to the moon?
Fly out the window
Jump out the room
Why don't we dance with the stars?
Twirl around Venus
Jump over Mars

You try to forget
Fill your lungs with regret
If you're high you don't think bout'
How low you've gone

And you realize that painting
blood on your arms
ain't making things better
but you can't stop self-harm

"How dare you,"
"Yes, you're awful"
"At least you're in control"
These words you repeat make your heart turn cold

Wash yourself off and
Dry your tears
I promise I'll hold you
I won't disappear
You don't have to say a word
I won't question you, dear

Just let me hold you,
Darling,
And let's talk to the moon.
