XVIII (The Moon)
Today I hide from that "god" controlling me
That thing hanging in the air that never dissolves
Perhaps this explains the problems I'm facing
But is this really all there is to it?
A defense against the feeling that others are a threat
An inner world made to make up for what I lack
I want to discover omnipotence
I want to escape the awaiting dread
To be self-sufficient and free from the ones I can't trust
So I watch my body drifting through life far away from me
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
The tides of animal instinct crash forward onto land
And retreat back to the murky abyss beneath
Suppress the feeling of a dangerous need
Step out of the body onto a path to oblivion
A calm light shines upon the chaos engulfing me
Showing the way into the distant fortress in my mind
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
I wander forever shielding my true self
Away from your presence and the sensation it gives me
Exposed to the harsh elements of the real world
Where the other seeks to engulf me completely
I'll never let myself be found again
Leave the realm that I was once bound to behind
That never-ending exile and limitless power
Is all there is for me
From that faraway desolation in the sky
In a barrier of thorns I escape
And never show my head by day nor light
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
That thing hanging in the air that never dissolves
Perhaps this explains the problems I'm facing
But is this really all there is to it?
A defense against the feeling that others are a threat
An inner world made to make up for what I lack
I want to discover omnipotence
I want to escape the awaiting dread
To be self-sufficient and free from the ones I can't trust
So I watch my body drifting through life far away from me
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
The tides of animal instinct crash forward onto land
And retreat back to the murky abyss beneath
Suppress the feeling of a dangerous need
Step out of the body onto a path to oblivion
A calm light shines upon the chaos engulfing me
Showing the way into the distant fortress in my mind
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
I wander forever shielding my true self
Away from your presence and the sensation it gives me
Exposed to the harsh elements of the real world
Where the other seeks to engulf me completely
I'll never let myself be found again
Leave the realm that I was once bound to behind
That never-ending exile and limitless power
Is all there is for me
From that faraway desolation in the sky
In a barrier of thorns I escape
And never show my head by day nor light
The moon is hiding many secrets tonight
Protect me with an illusion of what I crave inside
The gap between me and you, the dim lonely light
Transcend the world and go beyond, let it be your guide
The moon will shine a light on how it works
This world as your personal respite
