The Moon of Pejeng

I've always been told we hold black holes inside They know from the start that every star must die It seems too convenient to lose track of time Now that you're gone, will my orbit unwind? What northern wind blew us into the street? And what fatal one will we all someday meet? Swept into a palace with no sign of a king No court for us jesters, but we like to Sing of the moon as it sometimes gets shy Running from lovers through starry-eyes skies Morning comes quick bringing tragic goodbyes But nothing ever really does, right? Someone's lighting candles all over my floor And placed "holy of holies" through every door But who are our doubts said to? Some half of the evening knew Of listening ears, long withdrew So we sing of the moon and the face that it hides Shining just half of its truth to our skies But bring me the sun that gives it all its light I don't want to just wait to die Alright

A shot to the veins Taste the rush I was lost on an escape to love Untraceable It's not the same Not enough You and me was like a vivid dream Why'd you wake me up? Why'd you wake me up? You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Distant screams The biggest lie What are we if never intertwined Forever undefined Take my hand Now or not at all Sow a seed, grow a plant Watch it spire tall Ever higher My love You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount You were my coming down And my solid ground Paramount Paramount Paramount Paramount Nights are longer now And I am, I am stronger Without you Without you I have come around Life is ocean, we were just travellers in the bayou In the bayou That we outgrew In the bayou In the bayou

I'm falling out With everything around me now Losing what I used to be And I'm over it They have been to the moon I'm just a caterpillar dead in my cocoon Swept by my mind's typhoon And I'm all at sea I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I had it all Rivers of gold and forest so tall But I ran my canoe down a waterfall Started a wildfire I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh we shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear I wish it could be different Wish there was no dampness here Oh I shouldn't have listened To the angst and the fear Here I sit in silence as it's rising at me And I'm afraid that I'm not taking my chances How do I know it's light in the horizon that I see? I've seen questions, but never answers Darkness to me is only water to the sea I've only ever heard of drought I used to be the one with the grandest of dreams But how can hope keep believing through the war?

And then you dream Of a world with only windows Inside you, you can hide you You know And then the night You're just another empty shadow No questions, no answers No one to scream at you Turn around and when you face the sun We can make you be like everyone you know Hey, you, you're just master of the moon And then the eyes If you look at them they'll blind you Who are you? What are you? Why do you scream at me? Turn around and when you face the sun We can make you be like everyone you know Hey, you, you're just master of the moon We can shake you, make you over We just need some time To shed some light upon your darkness We need your mind And then you dream again In a world that only you know Inside you, you can hide you No one to scream at you Turn around and when you face the sun We can make you be like everyone you know Oh turn away and never face the sun You'll never make me be like you I'm master of the moon

Born as a rider Left it all behind ya Invisible freedom An illusion The road it took my life away Took the light from the day So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me This world of freedom Invisible illusion Oooh just how they use them In this world of perfection Oooh this world of freedom Invisible illusion Just how they use them In this world world of perfection So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me To save me To save me To save me Born as a rider Left it all behind ya Invisible freedom An illusion So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me The road it took my life away Took the light from the day I was a rolling stone for so long Couldn't find my way home I was lost in a track or two Between time and you So queen of the highway When are you coming my way One day... one day

"How about a big act" I don't want to love you anymore My heart is tired out from running after yours I won't answer the door when you show up late at night So go and put the stars in someone else's sky I won't come 'round when you need a fix I was so young, but I've grown wiser to your tricks So save up your data and your late night taxi fares And spend them on her, I really don't care There's a part of me that wants to know what you're drinking To swallow the pill of me not caring what you're thinking There's a part of me that hopes you'll show up at my door Just so I can tell you to not do that anymore Oh, no more black and white movie nights We know them well enough to recite all the lines No more howling like a wolf 'til I crawl back in your room It wasn't love, it was a trick It wasn't love, it was a trick It wasn't love, it was a trick of the moon
