[Intro] Yeah… [Male Whispering close to the mic]: "Why does nighttime know me better...Moon?" "Must I lose it all to stay with you?" [Verse 1] The ink is bleeding out, staining a fractured mind Does the moon even care about the mess I left behind? I’m scribbling these lies just to say that I’m okay Waiting for the black ink to finally fade away. A sweet voice whispered, "Don't you ever let it go" But the margins are stained by everything I know. I’m sealing up a truth that I can't afford to pay Stamping out the remnants of a life I threw away. [Pre-Chorus] These ink scars are living deep inside my pride I feel the lunar storms beginning to rise. I held onto control like a hollow man But the silver dust is slipping through my hands… [Chorus] I’m writing to the moon, asking why I lose control!! I’m sending ink to the stars, while I’m losing my soul!! I folded up the truth, ‘cause I couldn't tell it plain So I signed it with the pieces of my heart that still remain. I ran out of ink, pulling the truth from my chest The words took my air, now I’m chasing my breath. One final flare, even though I know I’m doomed... Just a message in a bottle… Floating... It to... the... moon.. [Interlude] [Verse 2] I’m spiraling slow through the ghosts on a blank page Like silent screams locked inside of a lead cage. Acting strong was a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear My heart became a trigger and I’m gasping for air. I loved this life like the oxygen in my lungs But I lost my grip, and now the song is unsung. I had to lose it all just to see my real face Every failure I’ve owned led me back to this place. [Chorus] I’m writing to the moon, asking why I lose control!! I’m sending ink to the stars, while I’m losing my soul!! I folded up the truth, ‘cause I couldn't tell it plain So I signed it with the pieces of my heart that still remain. I ran out of ink, pulling the truth from my chest The words took my air, now I’m chasing my breath. One final flare, even though I know I’m doomed... Just a message in a bottle… Floating... It to... the... moon... [Solo] [Bridge] The moonlight falls like it finally understands... A cold glow showing exactly who I am. I told the sky every secret I tried to hide Tears hit the dirt and my soul felt alive. If love can hear me, just know I still feel I just stopped fighting to make it all real... I’m done trying to survive the thrill. [Final Chorus] I’m writing to the moon, asking why I lose control!! I’m sending ink to the stars, while I’m losing my soul!! I folded up the truth, ‘cause I couldn't tell it plain So I signed it with the pieces of my heart that still remain. I ran out of ink, pulling the truth from my chest The words took my air, now I’m chasing my breath. One final flare, even though I know I’m doomed... Just a message in a bottle… Floating... It to... the... moon... [Outro] Still writing… Still healing… Yeah, I’m still learning. And the moon... she just keeps listening.
