the craters on the moon are there for me and you our plane is leaving soon i brought a box of seeds a stack of cool CDs don't bail out on me pretty please baruch atah adonai i don't know why i even try some scumbag jacked my bike smack in the midst of the night since dinner's been cinnamon cereal and hypo-manic delirium instinctive indecision clouds my 80/20 vision try to go to sleep to taste the sweet relief but it finds me in my dreams and it makes me grind my teeth and sweat between the sheets when i wake i can't retrieve my memories baruch atah adonai i don't know why i even try some scumbag jacked my bike smack in the midst of the night since dinner's been cinnamon cereal and hypo-manic delirium instinctive indecision clouds my 80/20 vision credits

Honey I wish to rid you of this curse that haunts you Wash away the pain with chardonnay in the bathroom Horizontal lines sink deep in your skin and mind I'll mend what's left I've been absent for some time So ease your mind tonight As we sleep at night Your lips are stained with cherry wine

well I could understand why you felt lost no rhyme or reason no direction to my aging and I know it like the back of my hand I’d make a tired old man a far cry from anything extolling when there’s no reason for it you know you just can’t blame yourself a lifer forgiven so kill me quick - love is a slow death but who will strike fear in the heart of those you loved so dear from the start and you slow dance with all your memories of it with a weight that holds you down but you carry it around with you you carry it around so when you sing this song I hope it’s me you’re conjuring and these poor excuses for getting older and nothing seems real ‘cause I’m not all here and I’ve been walking in my sleep

Stop! Stop now it’s not too late, this mind is going to break. Stop! Stop! I can hear him say he’s going to take my life away. Night is almost here, I fear I hear him at my door. Close my eyes and hope to die, I just can’t take much more… In the night you fight your war, thinking you can win. But every night you’re losing more, and still you let me in… Stop! Stop! I won’t let you in, now let this fight begin. My mind is my enemy so I will take you down with me. Step inside my mind and try and find a sign of life. Now that you’re inside I lock the door and light the fuse…. [countdown from 16] Finally you’ve given in; now your life is mine. How could you think that you’d win? Now show me what you hide… Finally my war is done, but I don’t feel I’ve won. I’m going back into the night, I’ll wait there for the sun…
