I let the boogey man in
To see if he could get me back to the sea
We were friends there once
We fished underneath the sky filled with black
Dotted with milky stars
And all the more
There were worries inside his eyes I couldn't believe
He bent down to pick up something he had dropped
And when he saw it was His heart
He sneezed
Through the history of his life
He remembers only the wide ocean blue sea
It was funny how he moved, rickety like you couldn't fathom
And the hate that I felt for the darkness just vanished
Cause we are all monsters sometimes
And angels in another
We shift with the season which hails translucent fire
Move with the wave of water that flashes bright through all of us
Is there a way to move the minds of man toward a good?
Is there a way to turn back time so one could say "I should"?
An affirmation of the rock that clashes
Within the hurricane hastiness that drops down from the heavens
While some seem to blame it on their brethren
Of course of course I'll take the drink before the dawn!
Cause these wild hearts around me have seemed blind from the start
Underneath this skin lies no man nor woman no plan
Yes' underneath this blanket of illusory warmth
Lies a thing from the land and not from the land
A starry hope like a drifting boat
That I won't turn out to be
Just a dope
