Glass Moons

[Verse — polyrhythmic bass]
Three glass moons above my head
Your favorite things I keep from death
I throw them high, you count a chip
Not every time I didn't slip

[Pre-Chorus]
My empty hands could build a life
If just one moment they were mine

[Chorus — urgent harmonies]
Up they go, down they fall
I keep the sky from ending all
I want to stop and watch them break
Let gravity decide my fate
But names are etched in every sphere
Of people I have gathered here
(Don't drop, don't drop)

[Bridge — drums cut out]
My wrists are tired, my face is calm
One more throw, one more dawn

[Outro]
One life shatters if I let go
The other shatters if I don't
