TimTTT It's funny, I recently met Shy Moon at a show. She seemed friendly, positive and well adjusted. The people that these songs bring to mind.... I just want to give them a mug of hot tea & hug. Just from some songs I can picture them so clearly in my minds eye. Favorite track: Winter Moon.

The Hunters 03:01
Reinvented myself on a silver day Watch the waves that you ride when you're out to play And I'll stop in my path from the words you say And I'll stop, can't believe in these shades of grey You're my ride into town arm behind my seat And the lights, glowing orange, shadows on the street I'm your girl, hold my hand, tell me something sweet In the dark, in the night, it's a dry hot heat The hunters have been getting near Tell me all your secret fears Whisper them into my ears He is pulling the final pieces off the ground It's compassionate to say that things will turn around Is it hide and seek? Lost and found? Russian roulette, has the sun gone down? Have you fed enough, will you make me cry? Call me out when I tell a lie? I'm awake, I think I'm going back out to my car Will you drag me back if i get too far? The hunters have been getting near Tell me all your secret fears Whisper them into my ears Falling on different steps Scared that there's nothing left I'm changing all my feelings Thoughts are too revealing Rooftop views the skyline I'll make all my own signs I'm tearing every door down No need to wait around The hunters are here.

Winter Moon 03:36
I got lost on a trail in the metroparks Wanted to see the sun but it got dark You don't need the day to find your way home If you give up your fear of being alone I met a soul he was lost in a western sky Let's not be afraid to die He asked me for a fortune when I crossed his path I could tell you what I see but you could just change that And realize You are never alone, it's all around you You are never alone, hear it in the sounds You are never alone, and I feel it coming Through the winter moon Through the winter moon We only had one day we only had one night Still have so many other lives to get it right We kissed goodbye and went to our own lions dens I love you but we're never going to meet again In this lifetime but I am never alone, it's all around me I am never alone, feel it in my blood I am never alone, and I feel it coming Through the winter moon Through the winter moon Through the winter moon

Blue Cobalt 03:15
I threw myself off the edge for you Swam in the waters til my lips turned blue Watched my reflection as it simmered light Like the glitter of the ocean when the moon hits right Playing like rain's not coming down And where will you be when the creatures of the sand come around To the depths of your mind I've got some words to say But my lips are still blue so you can't stay The ocean salt The blue cobalt Wanted to flow But instead I'm sinking so, so low I hit record I guess I'm feeling so bored Water logged mind You still have something to find Scary movies Count all the actors you see Can you predict their end Or is it just pretend The ocean salt The blue cobalt Wanted to flow But instead I'm sinking so, so low Like cherry blossoms Have you forgotten? Are you gonna walk the streets at night Because your head's not right Tell a new story Things are getting gory Like a ritual of fire Burning out ever desire

I've been having dreams That haunt me in the night And whisper in my brain That something isn't right Cause I've been fighting hard To become something more Than a girl with sleepless nights A visionary score So tell me something new That I never heard before Because two of you were up all night Haunting me and forcing down my door And I can see the fire in the skies The lighting in your eyes I feel alive outside We're never gonna die I am wreck, now And you let me fall But I'll leave you outside We're never gonna die Die, die. I sleep in different beds But nowhere feels like home All these visions in my head Are why I always roam I don't want to feel sad I'd rather feel numb Baby you let me feel bad Let me feel like I'm no one I am a mess inside Following the tide I'll let you live your lie You're never gonna die I'll let them use me up I don't give a f*** I'll find my way outside We're never gonna die And I can see the fire in the skies The lighting in your eyes I feel alive outside We're never gonna die I am wreck, now And you let me fall But I'll leave you outside We're never gonna die Die, die. I am a wreck right now I am a wreck right now

Home 03:44
I've been so quiet, I don't know what to say So I write a song and the words come as I play All of the people I meet, their faces start to fade away Cracked like a bottle down, on the ground. We all want to be seen as something we are not I coughed and I choked on the words that I guess I forgot On Monday I held it in, they're digging graves where your families will reside Burn me up a little more, I only wanted to shine like the fire I don't think I can wait for you to come I don't think I can wait for you to come I don't think i can wait for you to come I don't think I can wait for you to come, back home I hate how I can cry so easily, I just succumb And I hate how I react off of my raw emotions I'll tell you a thousand times I won't act that way, when we fight Pushed me up against the wall, I'll forget what we said on that night I can never be somebody who just waits around And I can never be someone who keeps playing lost and found I'd rather you cut me off straight, blade slice your words, make them cold be done Don't be so confused, our time has been used, nothing is given on the run I don't think I can wait for you to come I don't think I can wait for you to come I don't think i can wait for you to come I don't think I can wait for you to come, back home Will I see you though in winter There's a body lying on your bed Will I see you though in summer Let your words trace my skin, instead

Rage 02:36
Lead all your ghosts away Why do you think that they have to play And I'll forget all of my hospital stays And when you let me down that just is your way I don't like to speak of the past Because my words will create what will last Failure's just a word not a way And I found something else today I won't go running out I won't go running out I won't go running out I light the sage, choose it over the rage, choose it over the rage, choose it over the rage I turn the page, choose it over the rage, choose it over the rage, choose it over the rage Sinking down floors I closed my eyes I found my words at the bottom all void of disguise I saw my brother who I never had seen in light We are the sisters of the fire, we feed the night I won't go running out I won't go running out I won't go running out No holding, no holding on No holding, no holding on No holding, no holding on No holding, no holding on

Strangers 02:30
Spread your fingers out on my hand Strangers in a strange land Where were you when we grew older Sleeping underneath your shoulder Under the currents you spread your wings Makes me believe you are not a thing Sing about it I'm too late Locked me inside, another to hate I'll take you where you want to be Take you where you want to be Change your face so I can't see Take you where you want to be All is gone now Strangers in a world I am found now All is gone now Strangers in a world I am found
