"Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.


Moonlight species
Midnight rays
Finite changes
Numbered days

Moonlight species
Silver eyes 
See the future
Darkened skies

Moonlight species
Hard to say
What is guilty
What betrays

Moonlight species
Have no trust 
Smoke to ashes
Rust to dust 

Moonlight species
Feral sense
Heightened in dark 
Taut and tense 

Moonlight species
Careful there
Never listen
Never stare

Moonlight species
On the run
Cloak and dagger
Til the sun

Moonlight species
Drenched in red
Build your coffin
Make your bed 

Moonlight species
Hide your shame
In the morning
Comes the blame 

Moonlight species
Gone for days
Skin a prison
Mind a maze 

Moonlight species
Take a bow
Sickly sweat 
Upon your brow

Moonlight species
Preach alone
Leave your message
At the tone

Moonlight species
Have a toast
Ignore the flames
Drown out the ghosts 

Moonlight species
On the floor
Writhe in darkness
Evermore

Moonlight species
Take your crown
Vent your anger
Hunt them down

Moonlight species
Naught to say
You are fleshy
You are prey
