Once Upon A Blood Moon |
He offered her the world, but came up short |
The nastiest of storms made him settle on a city with a port |
He watched ships sail by in the middle of July |
He wrote notes on paper boats, sat and waited for replies |
Hope floats, even when it’s on fire |
Especially when it’s on fire, but the smoke makes him tired |
Took a blade to the chest like he was opening a body bag |
«Sir he’s still alive in there"well Christ then, remove the tag |
What’s it say? |
It says «Fold along the lines |
And set me free,"not on fire, cause oftentimes |
When I set myself free, this empty |
Bag of a body tends to get burned in effigy |
I’ve lost the energy to fight off the flames |
I blow it off like it’s all just a game, all the same |
Wish he wouldn’t write himself out of the picture |
It’s a beautiful lotion that you got |
When there’s someone there to share it with you |
This is why she can’t have nice things |
He was too caught up in work to sign for the nice deliveries that life brings |
Now he can’t tell if he’s dead or not |
He said, «I bet I am, and I can prove it."She said «you better not» |
This is why she can’t have nice things |
Because talk is cheap and it was poor communication |
All he wanted to say, on the dock that day |
Was «I love you, and I’m sorry,"but instead, he just waved |
Good bye, and he cried, love |
So much he watched the waters rise up |
It must have been a changing of the tides, but I’ve come to assume |
It was the changing of a mind, once upon a blood moon |
They skimmed rocks for the whole day |
He imagined he was throwin' rotten parts of himself that broke away |
So he couldn’t stop, fascinated by the way they skip up top |
Give up and then drop, he sank with them |
They convened on the rock bottom and made a decision |
They could never raise children, not like this |
Not like people who make babies on purpose |
That’s when he came to the surface, fully intending |
To be so strong in his resolve, 'til all of it dissolves |
Slippin' through his pruny fingers like this could’ve been ours |
But this is to the offers that can’t be followed through with |
The water works, the leaky faucet still lost fluids |
To the current of the stream that’ll always push you from me |
To the reoccurring dream that makes reality less ugly |
In a picturesque setting, where the world looks airbrushed |
Needless to say, words failed us |
On the dock that day, all I wanted to say |
Was «I love you, and I’m sorry,"but instead, I just waved |
Good bye, and I cried, love |
So much I watched the waters rise up |
It must have been a changing of the tides, that was breaking up our lives |
It was a water raged wrinkling time |
Yessir, minds are made for the changing, but mine’s been deterioratin' |
Like the bluffs in the shoreline, where I’ve been waitin' too exhale |
Since the summer when we watched every last one of our friends set sail |
And I was the only livin' boy left in Providence |
Collecting death certificates from the rest of my documents |
Just for origami purposes, I gave 'em to the ocean |
But hey, look at me, I’m great at foldin' |
Guess I’ll just do this the rest of my life |
It’s got to do with lots of lovin', and it ain’t nothin' nice |
This is why she can’t have nice things |
He was too caught up in work to sign for the nice deliveries that life brings |
This is why she can’t have nice things |
Because talk is cheap and it was poor communication |
This is why she can’t have nice things |
He set fire to the paper boat sonatas he’s been writin' |
And this is why, I assume the moon’s bleeding |
And why there wasn’t any blood left in the rock he was squeezing |
