In an empty room a fragile reason slumbered
One alone, he woke - beyond the pane there lumbered
Something shapeless in the moonlight, unencumbered
By a name - though there was one, he was outnumbered
To leave is easy but to stay behind is bitter
Once she held you, once you saw the heavens glitter
With a thousand stars that parted to admit her
In a moment she was gone
Come my child, behold - the moon has human features
But his tongue is strange, his language cannot reach us
In a bowl of bone that teems with tiny creatures
We can hear alone the sighs and lies of preachers
What the endless sky that spreads to the horizon?
But a b***on on an insect's sleeve - it flies on
Past a million worlds, each with a million skies on
When you looked up you were gone
Do you sense an emptiness, a vessel, waiting?
Perfumes from the earth ascend without abating
Scents that rise like sewage-gasses from a grating
Just for you, that s***e the earthworms are creating
Truths you cannot trust and rules you cannot follow
Wine you cannot drink and grapes you cannot swallow
Leave a hunger, leave a hollow in a hollow
Just believe, the pain is gone
One alone, he woke - beyond the pane there lumbered
Something shapeless in the moonlight, unencumbered
By a name - though there was one, he was outnumbered
To leave is easy but to stay behind is bitter
Once she held you, once you saw the heavens glitter
With a thousand stars that parted to admit her
In a moment she was gone
Come my child, behold - the moon has human features
But his tongue is strange, his language cannot reach us
In a bowl of bone that teems with tiny creatures
We can hear alone the sighs and lies of preachers
What the endless sky that spreads to the horizon?
But a b***on on an insect's sleeve - it flies on
Past a million worlds, each with a million skies on
When you looked up you were gone
Do you sense an emptiness, a vessel, waiting?
Perfumes from the earth ascend without abating
Scents that rise like sewage-gasses from a grating
Just for you, that s***e the earthworms are creating
Truths you cannot trust and rules you cannot follow
Wine you cannot drink and grapes you cannot swallow
Leave a hunger, leave a hollow in a hollow
Just believe, the pain is gone
