So Long My Moonlight

The planet you're on means way more to you than here

That's what she slurred as her lover just blurs

And slips out of frame as her focus gets worse

He's craving a curious taste

Out on the prowl, pushing hard through the crowd

A dilution of his former self

As the last of the purity drips from his spout

In these dizzy confines of a merry-go-round

Coughs a city draped in bellows of smoke

And it's high time he entered the mind of someone else

To see what it's like

So long my moonlight

I won't write

I have to ride

And I won't have time to send you any message

'Cause the transplant on my mind is wreckage

I refuse to exhume

Dipping your toes in the city, swimming with sharks

Careful now not to go in too deep

The lullaby drone of a nearby phone doesn't penetrate the wall

Of your drunken drawl

Trapped is the change that you fight to digest

As you lose sight of what you've become

Your misery's complete as the last of your friends

Draw away an indifferent hand

And forgets who you are

So long false moonlight

I won't lie

I have to confide in the haven and the comfort of my own mind

'Cause the one I occupy treats me so unkind every time
