The moon sung a song
In the form of stars
Stretching across the sky
So vast and far
In a voice so thin
Particles of space debris
Flew through the hoops
Of Saturn's rings
Light was the sound
Like a comet's tail
Pretty and white
As a wedding veil
The moon sang a song
Every night
And showered the land
In musical light

The lights flicked on
One by one
They were so bright
Like a thousand suns
Closer and closer
Row by row
Knowing they were coming
My body froze
And finally the light
Poured down upon me
A mess of life
I couldn't speak
I couldn't move
It hurt so bad
Frantically looking
For a thought to grab
But it simply doesn't
Work that way
And the light just wouldn't
Go away
And suddenly an arena
Was built around me
I was on display
For all to see
A disgustingly pathetic
Reclusive freak
Their laser eyes blinking
In robotic sync
I'm hunching over
Head against my knees
Hoping to disappear
From these awful things
But such luck
Just won't come my way
So I'll suffer and suffer
Day by day
No one knows
Just what it's like
To have a hole
So big and wide
Right in the center
Of your heaving chest
Bloodying everything
You cherish best
A hole for wicked hands
To reach inside
And rip out everything
That keeps you alive
So I'll keep looking
For another soul
With stains of blood
Upon their clothes
And when I do
I'll reveal my own
The tragic flaw
That the anxious hold

What you meant
And what you said
Unanswered questions
Fill my head
I feel so breathless
When I'm with you
Yet life's so easy
So what should I do?
Should I stay and succumb
To this fluttering in my chest
Or lay this youthful fling
To a cold, dead rest?
What you said
And what you meant
I'll leave to the stars
And hope for the best

If you're happy one day
And you don't know why
I swear I'll be smiling
Right by your side
If your tears won't stop falling
Like lonely raindrops from the sky
I swear I'll do anything
To make you smile

my days
consist of
sitting around
waiting
for things
to get better,
while
making them
worse
