Lyrics
Two kids on the roof
Of a gas station in the middle of nowhere
One wearing well-loved shoes
The other smoking a freshly lit cigarette
Two kids with such big dreams
One wants to bathe in love and drink all the worlds beyond
The other wants to plant the seeds
Grow a family, feed the world with poetry
But as one scrolls on their phone
The other stares at the night sky
Through the smoke they spot
Something so red, so round, so real
The red moon
Stained by the blood of our forests
The red moon
Made by the hands of our hunger
The red moon
Coming to take their futures away
Two kids gazing up
I’ve never seen a moon so damn beautiful before
The other sighs between puffs
Maybe it’s a sign of good luck and happiness
Two kids looking up
“Why does the moon turn red in the middle of summer?”
One fills with guilt and grief
As they read how this moon a warning sign
So as one scrolls on their phone
The other stares at the night sky
Through the smoke they spot
Something so red, so round, so real
The red moon
Stained by the blood of our forests
The red moon
Made by the hands of our hunger
The red moon
Coming to take their futures away
Why should these two kids have hope
When they can see the end?
Why should these two kids have hope
When they can see the end?
Why should these two kids have hope
When they can see the end?
The red moon
Stained by the blood of our forests
The red moon
Made by the hands of our hunger
The red moon
Coming to take their futures away
Two kids trying to survive
Watching the moon disappear
Two kids letting go of their dreams
Watching the moon disappear
Two kids wondering if there is a point
Watching the moon disappear
