Emily Axford
Survivor’s Guilt, Aka, The Moon’s Lament
[Verse 1]
And as the smoke began to dissipate
I feverishly searched the rubble that remained
But I couldn't find your face
It seemed the human race had met its fate

[Verse 2]
And I know that you weren't perfect
I know that like I saw you hide your flaws
But the galaxy's gone dark
Without your lively spark
My dear blue ball

[Pre-Chorus]
And I have spent my days
Seeking out your gaze
That's over now
God, it's such a shame
The universe is lame without you, now

[Chorus]
I fill the page with eulogies
And sing 'em from my bended knees, but how
How can I move on
Knowing that you're gone
I don't know how
[Verse 3]
And I never got to tell you
I never took the chance to speak my heart
'Cause I took it for granted
That you were my planet
And not Mars

[Pre-Chorus]
And I have spent my days
Seeking out your praise
That's over now
God, it's such a shame
The universe is lame without you, now

[Chorus]
I'll fill the page with eulogies
And sing 'em from my bended knees, but how
How can I move on
Knowing that you're gone
I don't know how

[Verse 4]
I see you in my dreams
Young and brave and pre-calamity
I will tell your story
I will be the voice you lost too soon
'Cause even in your absence
Even in your death
I'm still your moon
