       [Verse] 
       
      Hope is a thief, cloaked in a guise 
       
      Snatches the spark, dims your skies 
       
      Life claws deep, scars your name 
       
      Mirror stares back, always the same 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Moon hung low, it bows in shame 
       
      Every cycle, it’ll try again 
       
      Fickle light in the vast terrain 
       
      Hope clings tight, a phantom chain 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      Chilled air whispers, holds you in thrall 
       
      Promises whispered, then lets you fall 
       
      Steps to nowhere, shadows call 
       
      Yet hearts still beat through it all 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      Rust below where the tears collide 
       
      Dreams eroded, swept with the tide 
       
      Broken compass, no stars to guide 
       
      Empty hands, but the fire won’t hide 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Moon hung low, a sorrow's refrain 
       
      Pulls the tide, forgets your name 
       
      Fleeting moments, it seems insane 
       
      Still clings tight, through joy and pain 
       
      [Outro] 
       
      Hope's a thief, steals and lies 
       
      But it rises, though it dies 
       
      Chasing the moon through sullen cries 
       
      In the void where truth relies
