[Verse 1]
I make my move when the circle is high
Full moon glitter on my hands
I lay my plans in the silver light
Then I test them in the sand
I charge my crystals by the sun
You know I leave them on the sill
Some folks wait for moonlit run
I like the blaze, I like the will
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when the sky goes black on black
I don't fold, I don't freeze
I keep a little daybreak packed
Somewhere under my sleeves
[Chorus]
Full moon first, then no moon
(full moon first)
I walk through dark with a steady tune
(no moon, no moon)
Some charge by the moon
I charge by the sun
(full moon first, then no moon)
I shine when the light is gone
[Verse 2]
I don't need every thread to show
I know the pattern in my bones
When the room gets quiet and cold
I bring my own small throne
I set my stones in morning heat
I let them drink that honest flame
Then when the shadow hits the street
I still know my own name
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when the sky goes black on black
I don't fold, I don't freeze
I keep a little daybreak packed
Somewhere under my sleeves
[Chorus]
Full moon first, then no moon
(full moon first)
I walk through dark with a steady tune
(no moon, no moon)
Some charge by the moon
I charge by the sun
(full moon first, then no moon)
I shine when the light is gone
[Bridge]
Call it serious wit
Call it a stubborn spark
I learned to save a little fire
For the hours after dark
[Final Chorus]
Full moon first, then no moon
(full moon first)
I walk through dark with a steady tune
(no moon, no moon)
Some charge by the moon
I charge by the sun
(full moon first, then no moon)
I shine when the light is gone
