Rises The Moon by Liana Flores

Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after (1)____________ days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days fade into a watercolour blur
Memories swim and haunt you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, (2)__________ your weary eyes
I (3)______________ you that (4)________ the autumn comes
To (5)____________ fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you (6)________ just like a sinking ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the moon
You'll be visited by sleep
I (7)______________ you (8)________ soon the autumn comes
To steal away each (9)__________ you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
