Uneven Moons

[Verse 1]
Seventeen moons pull crooked at the sea
Your orbit slips; the calendar disagrees
You call the bent horizon something wrong
While violet reeds take root where tides run long

[Pre-Chorus]
No map can name the weather in your chest
Still, every strange season makes a place to nest

[Chorus]
You are the world that won’t stay in its lane
A tide turned sideways, rain against the grain
And in the cracks your wildest gardens start
No other sky could grow what’s in your heart
So keep your uneven moons and face the dawn
The future’s wide enough to orbit on

[Verse 2]
One moon arrives while another drifts away
The bright salt flowers open out of phase
You thought your changing coast would leave you bare
But small bright lives have learned to flourish there

[Pre-Chorus]
No map can name the weather in your chest
Still, every strange season makes a place to nest

[Chorus]
You are the world that won’t stay in its lane
A tide turned sideways, rain against the grain
And in the cracks your wildest gardens start
No other sky could grow what’s in your heart
So keep your uneven moons and face the dawn
The future’s wide enough to orbit on

[Outro]
Seventeen moons; let every one be known
The next strange season—you can meet it whole
