Ethan Loke - Crescent Moon Lyrics

      

Crescent Moon
by Ethan Loke

Verse 1
You said you gerrymandered the state of our friendship
But you drew the lines a little bit sideways
I'm not really sure why on earth you did it
From what I've heard, you said you've moved on
From the things back in March, but I don't believe you
Your gear's stuck in neutral, and your house is underground
They say home is where the heart is, so I'll hedge my bets in
The landslide that filled all your vessels with doubt

Pre-Chorus 1
Oh where've you been?
A prodigal daughter without the rich man's sin

Chorus 1
You took those five years of your Jesus-loving hymns
Placed them in a casket with a wood-fitted trim
The crescent moon shines brighter than the stars
Now you've started a new life, leaving us in the past

Verse 2
You said you're adequately and healthily processing
But the blue screen of death is making you numb
Oh I couldn't make it for your best friend's funeral
So I told you I'm sorry and donated a lump sum
But months go by and you went radio silent
I honestly thought you had suffered the same fate
But you cut the telephone lines down to your house
And dug yourself deeper till you got past the slate

Chorus 2
You took those five years of your Jesus-loving hymns
Placed them in a casket with a wood-fitted trim
The crescent moon shines brighter than the stars
Now you've started a new life, leaving us in the past
Leaving us in the past

Bridge
Change is feeling distant, rage builds in an instant
You don't feel any different, who am I to criticise?
Pain is shorting circuits, hate is towards your worship
You're gonna reach your limit, I know who you do despise
Blame is a cruel mistress, shame just scrapes the surface
You'll soon come to hate it, the way life goes you'll be deprived
Grave's dug a hundred inches, chain's locked you can't escape this
You lived then you didn't, know He didn't hear your cries

Outro
Change is feeling distant, rage builds in an instant
You don't feel any different, who am I to criticise?
Grave's dug a hundred inches, chain's locked you can't escape this
You lived then you didn't, know He didn't hear your cries
