[Verse 1]
I count the stones again
Same wall, same wound
A hundred years of winter
Sleeping in this room
My name is old ash
My breath is chained
The moon taps once on my window
And calls me by my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the halls lean closer
I hear my blood say run
The dark puts on my face again
And drags me toward the sun
[Chorus]
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I am the night
That won’t release
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I live too long
To rest in peace
[Verse 2]
I wore the years like iron
I wore the years like skin
Every dawn took something
And left me still within
The orchard lost its blossoms
The lake forgot my stare
I watched my lovers vanish
Like smoke into the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every bell is warning
Every shadow says my name
I touch the glass, it answers
With a face that looks the same
[Chorus]
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I am the night
That won’t release
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I live too long
To rest in peace
[Bridge]
If I could break this curse line
If I could die one time
I’d lay my bones in silence
And let the cold be mine
But the howl lives underneath me
A crown I cannot shed
And when the choir finds my heartbeat
It rises from the dead
[Final Chorus]
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I am the night
That won’t release
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
Hold me, moon
Then set me free
Moon under teeth
Moon under teeth
I live too long
To rest in peace
