“June Moon”
By Lunkhead
This song is NOT about a person.
I gave her my word
I gave her my rhyme
No more ways to say
Somethin’ ‘bout nothin’
The days grow long
But the nights get shorter
And she’s still not satisfied
I work for “June Moon”
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
She’ll give you a scolding
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight
I’m still mourning
Still feeling lost
Look for a way to make
Somethin’ from nothin’
A year disappears
Now the weeks drag on
And she’s still not satisfied
I work for “June Moon”
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
She’ll give you a scolding
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight
I’m falling apart
I’m breaking down
Feel like I’m turning from
Somethin’ to nothin’
And she’s still not satisfied
I work for “June Moon”
I do what I'm told
Don't break the rules or
She’ll give you a scolding
I should just walk away
But I'm not smart enough
And I'm too proud to
Go down without a fight

Spoiler
"June Moon" the song title is standing in for Nur Ein. I gave Nur Ein she/her pronouns only because "June" is a typically female name. I was trying to make the song not actually sound like it was written about Nur Ein. I'm singing about feeling burned out about Nur Ein, reacting to some judge reviews, feeling burned out about my career, and some personal stuff about what the month of June means for me these days.
