Sleeping in the Dark

I don't need you to sing me
A lullaby tonight
I just want you to bring me
A piece of the moonlight
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
I don't need you to pour
Any liquor in my drink
My spirits wouldn't soar
My heart would just sink
Into the ground, whiskey soaked and lonely
Without a sound, descending deeper down
Slumping to a slow beat
But I know I must be dreaming
As I lie here awake
The light I'm looking for
Went out long ago
And my heart can't unbreak
I don't need you to tell me that things will work our right
I want to feel your heartbeat when I wake up at midnight
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
I don't need you to read me another goodnight moon
You can't even see me in this pitch black room
And I'm so tired of sleeping in the dark
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
But I know I must be dreaming
As I lie here awake
The light I'm looking for
Went out long ago
And my heart can't unbreak
I don't need you to make me valerian tea
I just want you to light me a lamp so I can see
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart

Fade in
Fade out
Wade in
Wade out
No love
No doubt
Fade in
Fade out
You say you're sorry
There's no need
There's no need
No need to worry
You'll be freed
You'll be freed
Fade in fade out
I wasn't meant for love
I wasn't meant for love
Wade in wade out
You say I'm from a world above
No love no doubt
Pretty soon you'll figure it out
Fade in fade out
Stay in
Stay out
Trade in
Trade out
Some love
Some doubt
Stay in
Stay out
You say you're sorry
There's no need
There's no need
No need to worry
You'll be freed
You'll be freed
Stay in stay out
I wasn't meant to kiss
Was just an idle wish
Trade in trade out
A temporary bliss
For a world gone amiss
Some love some doubt
Pretty soon I'll figure it out
Stay in stay out
You say you're sorry
There's no need
There's no need
No need to worry
You'll be freed
You'll be freed
Fade in fade out
I wasn't meant for love
I wasn't meant for love
Wade in wade out
I thought you were from a world above
All love all doubt
Pretty soon we'll figure it out
Fade in fade out

To Hell and Back

Lavender hell
Touch sight smell
Red sky fell
My senses die
Language shatters
Devil patters
Moonwrench tatters
Have I died
Sleeping pain burrows in your veins
You live deep underground
I can't unwrench your moonwrenched heart
But I'll follow you down
To hell and back
The moon could crack
Rot and go black
I'd stay down there with you
To hell and back
Burning lilac
Roasting to black
With you
Devil's cloud
Beautiful doubt
Can't go out
It won't die
Curl up warm
Spiral storm
Nebula's born
I could die
Seething pain attacks your brain
You live deep underground
I can't unwrench your moondrenched mind
But I'll follow you down
To hell and back
The moon could crack
Rot and go black
I'd stay down there with you
To hell and back
Burning lilac
Roasting to black
With you
I used to float adrift
Turned and tipped
At the edge of a spiral galaxy
Your moonwrenched heart
Torn apart
Pulled me into its gravity
Now we're headed down
To the crackling sound
Of your dark reality
But I'll follow you
To hell and back
The moon could crack
Rot and go black
I'd stay down there with you
To hell and back
Burning lilac
Roasting to black
With you

The weight of our words was held in place
By the gravity governing space
Time quickened to a slowed down pace
When you told me that you liked my face
The sundry pieces of a life untold
Became solid spheres of shining gold
In a universe so vague and cold
Now I had a hand to hold
Oh I wish this were a song about love
But that ballad's already been oversung
Two planets dancing 'round a lonely sun
Whose love was over 'fore it had begun
The scientists of the mundane
Would call our alchemy insane
Modern astronomy could not explain
The solar system we maintained
But just as planets don't collide
And instead they orbit far and wide
The two of us walked side by side
And talked across a great divide
Oh I wish this were a song about love
But that ballad's already been oversung
Two planets dancing 'round a lonely sun
Whose love was over 'fore it had begun
Oh I wish this were a song about love
But that ballad's already been oversung
Two planets dancing 'round a lonely sun
Whose love was over 'fore it had begun

Oh it's been so long since I've seen you now
Oh it's been so long since I've heard you cry
Oh it's been so long since I've talked to you
Oh it's been so long since I've heard you sigh
Oh but I would die if you said that you still loved me
You said goodbye but I think that we could be
Still together against all Newton's laws
Motionless forever on god's eternal pause
Oh it's been so long since I've looked at you
Oh it's been so long since I've seen your eyes
Oh it's been so long since I've kissed you now
Oh it's been so long since we've philosophized
Oh but I would die if you said that you still loved me
You said goodbye but I think that we could be
Still together against all Newton's laws
Motionless forever on god's eternal pause
I know we're on a moving earth
Bodies in motion can't be inert
But for one day let's subvert the rules
Let's come to a sudden halt
Forget each other's glaring faults
And glide into a danceless waltz like fools
Oh it's been so long since you made me sad
Oh it's been so long since you made me cry
Oh it's been so long since I fought with you
Oh it's been so long since you made me sigh
Oh but I would die if you said that you still loved me
You said goodbye but I think that we could be
Still together against all Newton's laws
Motionless forever on god's eternal pause
