like a waitress carrying plates of burnt food
the scent of disappointment floats across the room
i let my eyes wander to an open window
where i see a couple lean against their white picket fence
the mystic handed me her gun
she said don't shoot it too close to the sun
for you'll turn the whole world dark once more
so i aimed for the moon and she crumbled down
like white sand kissing the ocean floor
my body's weary, it's time to rest my head
but it's hard to fall asleep when you no longer have a bed
the evening wraps me in a cloak of the night
fills the void you left in me when you tried to take away my light
the mystic handed me her gun
she said don't shoot it too close to the sun
for you'll turn the whole world dark once more
so i aimed for the moon and she crumbled down
like white sand kissing the ocean floor
