nickwuh - Bloodmoon (Acoustic) Lyrics

You said it wasn't real
But it's the only thing I know that makes my vision fail
The red against the blue collides
These wings made of wax should've never touched the sky

I didn't want to feel
With all the honesty you held I thought we'd make a deal
You couldn't compromise
And all the words I spat were blatant lies

Was it all just in my head?
To think I put so much of myself into this
Although I'm devastated
In some way, I couldn't be more jaded

This didn't have to be inevitable
I never even thought it was possible
Maybe if you said it was a destination
Given a warning, or a red flag

I should've given up or never tried at all
And I hate to say I regret this, but it's not like I learned a single thing

I could tell right from the start
The start of that day you started growing apart from me
Go ahead and keep your distance
I don't see a point in resisting
It's been a long time coming
But I hate to say I saw this from the beginning
It's not me, it's you
You couldn't help me fix it like we were supposed to

Has anything felt real?
Since the fraying of our threads, this whole ordeal
I swore to close my eyes
As you spoke to me with rehearsed lines

The tension built for weeks
With the weight of this stress, we all needed release
But I can't swallow my pride
And the worst I could do is leave it at goodbye

You raised your red flags from far away
And they faded white when you heard me say
That cutting ties is the only way
The only way to heal

How am I supposed to heal
When the wounds on my back are dressed with blades of steel
Oh, I call them knives
But with a change in perspective, maybe I could fly?

I could tell right from the start
The start of that day you started growing apart from me
Go ahead, keep your distance
I don't see a point in resisting
It's been a long time coming
But I hate to say I saw this from the beginning
It's not me, it's you
You couldn't help me fix it like we were supposed to

Tell me it wasn't real
Tell me it wasn't real
When I saw you from so far away
You hid me away like the rest of your skeletons

So tonight there's a bloodmoon
Coming out to get you
To show you every word I've been holding back
Did you expect the scene to cut to black after this?

'Cause tonight there's a bloodmoon
Coming out to get you
You'll see every crater you've left on this crescent
I'll repent for myself in your absence
