Spooky Moon
I woke up in a dream
But in that dream you were right there
I woke up to a scream
But as I screamed you just stared
I could hear so many voices
But they were all in the dark
I could hear people crying and feel their tear drops
But I could not tell them apart
I remember being still in the quiet of night
My eyes opened to a chill and to a sudden fright
Tubes were coming out of me and I couldn't move
All I could do was look at what I could see casting stark light into the room
As I watched it roll over the black of sky
Casting movement in the corners where no shadows could hide
I watched it sail in the clouds, I watched it melt them away
It was all I had to cling to and I just couldn't let it get away
I see your face talking, and the words, and the smiles
You kiss my cheek and keep watching, looking deep into my eyes
But as my mind will not permit any expression from my eyes
I want you to know how much I love you, cos I'm still here behind this facade of organic lies
I'm still here in this body that don't want to work any more
I can't talk but I can listen, I can't cry but I can scream
I want to hold you so badly, I want to hug you so real
Then you go into your world, then I am left alone on this bed of steel
I move my eyes and I see my old friend of the night sail right by
I feel it watching me in those dark craters it has for eyes
Somewhere I hear laughter echoing in the night
Is it that face of light watching or some dark pain being released in my mind?
Spooky Moon tonight.
