Guided by Different Moons

I long to feel weight on my shoulders
To wake in another day.
Dark clouds would be a blessing
To breathe air we didn’t make.

Haunted by dreams within other dreams
Tell myself again I’m not alone.
Every move must be planned
So there’s a chance of going home.

I know things will be difficult.
We are guided by different moons now.
The days are so long under dark skies
We are guided by different moons now.

Hours apart have turned to weeks
Trying to remember your voice.
Thoughts can be felt in an instant
You will always be my choice.

I know things will be difficult.
We are guided by different moons now.
The days are so long under dark skies
We are guided by different moons now.

Nothing Lives Longer Than Lies

This truth we’ve all known since the day we opened our eyes.
Nothing lives longer than lies.
Buried in facts we are told only a fool ever tries.
Still waiting for the surprise.

Somehow we put a price on the amount of hate.
Packaging love in a crate.
Out of my hands, everything has been left to fate.
Medicine is out of date.

Nothing Lives Longer Than Lies
So be careful what you say.
Nothing Lives Longer Than Lies
When you look the other way.

Strength is too often something others shove down our throat.
Weakness displayed by each vote.
Tossed out in the middle of winter without a coat.
Who knows if we can float?

Nothing shouts confidence like a man waiting to fail.
Spending time chasing his tail.
Promising everything’s good cause the check’s in the mail.
Picks up the finishing nail.

Nothing Lives Longer Than Lies
So be careful what you say.
Nothing Lives Longer Than Lies
When you look the other way.
