exposed - moon on the corner

moon on the corner (by deav)
Rio, Mai-Jun 2003
(exposed)

the days are heart-crushing
what’s the meaning of everything?
what am i doing here
if my will lies elsewhere?

the hours are longer
but the sun is gone too soon
i was getting stronger
now i long for locking myself up in my room

i can’t sleep i roll over
i feel life is getting shorter
the smoke whirls up
and hides the moon on the corner

the nights are never long enough
to make up for the time loss of the day
when i finally turn off the other peoples’ lives
it’s tomorrow, today is yesterday

the hours finally weigh on my eyelids
only there’s no sandman song
nightmares hurt only when i breathe
i must be doing something wrong

i can’t sleep i roll over
i feel life is getting shorter
the smoke whirls up
and hides the moon on the corner
