The Moonless Night

He roams the earth by night
 He prays to catch a sight
 Of the thing that escapes his mind
 It hunts and haunts, escapes and eludes
 It's gone when he opens up his eyes
 It's not living when you're dead inside
 I've been through Hell, I've tasted heaven
 I've walked the road that joins the two
 Now I've lost myself somewhere inside of me
 And I'm not sure what to do
 This past year has been the hardest time of my life
 And I would kill for a rock or a hard place
 But now the clock has turned
 I guess the lesson learned
 Is that the heart of stone shatters into the most pieces
 It's been difficult and getting worse ever since the start
 I burned down every bridge between my mind and my heart
 The flame that lit my way
 The Moon led me astray
 The things my heart once had
 That led me down this path
 A wilted fragment of my focus
 A hidden thorn among the roses
