Trying
Mid-Day Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling so trapped in my head
All around believing in choices the wait
Is over, is over
Forging the ice on the floor
Everyday it's thinner, my foots in the door
It's open, it's open

In time we'll feel the way we wanted
If we just fight and spread the light thin

And I'm trying
And I can't look down with everyone around
And I'm trying
Not to hear that sound that's screaming so loud, I

Bury myself head to toe,
Convincing all the thinking I do just to go
It's over, it's over
Cessation of mourning the past,
bestowed upon vacations of thoughts fading black
That hold us, they hold us

This time we'll feel the way we wanted
If we just fight and spread the light thin

And I'm trying
And I can't look down with everyone around
And I'm trying
Not to hear that sound that's screaming so loud
I'm trying
I'm trying

I'm dying
To run and stop this hiding
I know there's a timing
But don't know when
I see
It can be so frightening
Nothing works despite me
Trying

I'm trying

And I'm trying
And I can't look down with everyone around
And I'm trying
Not to hear that sound that's screaming so loud




I'm trying
I'm trying
