Sometimes I’m like a wound that won’t close
Like anger’s the only warmth I’m meant to know
So I dress in morning light so cold
That I might greet the day with eyes of rose
Mean ol’ moon - swimming through the stars
Shining holes right through my heart
And I won’t stitch - myself another scar
I’ll pick and pull until I fall apart
I hold my sadness like a favourite friend
Whose presence I long for time and time again
So, when I glow blue I don’t despair
I guess that’s just the way I gather air
Mean ol’ moon, swimming through the stars
Shining holes right through my heart
And I won’t stitch, myself another scar
I’ll pick and pull until I fall apart
My love, he told me once he had a dream
That I had died beside him in my sleep
He shook me awake just to see
If there was air left in my lungs to breathe
If there were drums left in my heart to beat
If there was life left in my bones to be
Mean ol’ moon, swimming through the stars
Shining holes right through my heart
And I won’t stitch myself another scar
I’ll pick and pull until I fall apart - apart
