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
