Dark Side of the Moon

Waiting and wondering, gazing into nothing
I'm withering slowly, mouth all agape
Eyes hanging open and nostrils all a flare
Locking on a target and trying not to stare
Palm getting sweaty and the climax coming soon
Lost, blind, and walking on the dark side of the moon

She's waiting for me by sunlight
I'm so cold and shivering
But looking back in hind-sight
I'd do it all again

I've found that breaking a heart in two
Isn't really that hard to do
I was trying so hard to be one of the few
But, in the end, found myself on the dark side of the moon

The air that I'm breathing is thinking of leaving
My soul has thoughts of running away
I'm dreaming in a sleepless state
In a world where there is no night and day

The motion of emotion is forming a tear
And it's floating like an ocean far away from here
Taking from me all that I had and more
Abandoning reason like I did before

I'll sleep now, but not dream now
And slowly fade into your mind
And grip a piece of redemption at the last second
Losing what I found to be too hard to find

Time is running slowly and my mind is too
And I'll die here, as I lie here, on the dark side of the moon
