Season of the Moon

from Season of the Moon by Michael McGuire

lyrics

I just woke up; the wind is howling against the window, Life seemed less like a dream when it was a dream, What was it that I went to sleep with; I just don’t know, Is the best fire can do is turn into smoke, Seems like the things I never use to remember; now I just can't forget, The star of my soul has gone supernova; now there’s only desolation, What once was a future full of hope has become a past full of regret, My heart was fixed but my head sought no capitulation.

And now who will claim this vision that proved itself blind, Who will boast of what he was looking for and admit what he did find, I will say; I don’t know the sun just went down to soon, And I swear I couldn’t see at all if it weren’t for the moon.

Maybe I’m stumbling thru the past when I should be leaning on the future, Because the past is what I’ve lost; the future is all I have, The past must be surgically removed from my mind the present is the suture, And there should be more to life than just being alive, But sometimes I just don’t know what I know, I’m just me to you but I’m a mystery to me, I could go anywhere if I just knew where to go, I could be anything if I just knew what to be.

And now who will claim this pawn who use to be a king, Who set out looking for the promised land and didn’t find a thing, I watched the sunset and I knew it was setting to soon, Now I couldn’t see at all if it weren’t for the moon.

Laying here in the darkness with the moon in my eyes, I know that every night something slips away that can never be again, And the morning’s memories are just a disguise, For the immortality of your mortal sin, I’m surrounded by silence; so much goes unsaid, Everyday the darkness devours another morsel of light, There is a garden that is dying in my head, Because it draws no nourishment from this night.

And now who will claim this vision that proved itself blind, Who will boast of what he was looking for and admit what he did find, I will say I don’t know; the sun just went down to soon, And I swear I couldn’t see the darkness if it weren’t for the moon.
