Take Me to the Water on The Moon
Emotional Odyssey: Finding Solace Beyond Chains and Glass Houses
Lyrics
You are not the breaker of my chains
You don't have the power to free me from my struggles
I am not the answer to your pain
I cannot alleviate your suffering
We're complex beings that are more than words and bones
We are intricate beings beyond mere physical existence
We are sinners in glass houses
We are flawed individuals in vulnerable situations
With a hatred that shrouded
Enveloped in hatred with no clear targets
By a lack of people at whom to throw stones
Due to a lack of people to criticize or blame
There is no joining of the flesh
No intimate connection between us
When my life is such a mess
My life is chaotic and disordered
Falling apart and crashing through the glass
Falling apart and breaking through the metaphorical barriers
Its taking so long to recover
Recovery is a slow and challenging process
From the love turned pitch forever
Past love still haunts even in sleep
The memory still hurts when I'm trying to fall asleep
Painful memories persist during attempts to rest
We go picking stars like berries
Pursuing dreams and aspirations like picking stars
While my clothes are feeling heavy
The weight of life is burdensome
I feel like I'm boiling alive
Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally intense
I'll hide in the hollies
Seeking refuge and solace in hidden places
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism
At war with my body
Engaged in a struggle with one's own body
If its really over
Questioning if the relationship is truly over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober
Running out of reasons to stay abstinent
This is just making my head ache
Expressing frustration causing a headache
Spewing words without a break
Speaking incessantly without pause
I glad that I'm surrounded by these people
Grateful for the support of those around
This is the best I've ever felt
Feeling content and happy in the current state
And there's already someone else
Aware of another person in the picture
but I'll never be ready to introduce myself
Unprepared to introduce oneself to the new person
I'll hide in the hollies
Retreating to a hidden place for solace
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
Continuing the pattern of drinking to escape
At war with my body
Ongoing struggle with one's own body
If its really over
Considering if the relationship is truly over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober
Running out of reasons to maintain sobriety
And I'll find solace
Finding comfort and peace
Out here by the pool
Near a pool, possibly a metaphorical place of reflection
I think I see the dawn shining through
Seeing a new beginning or hope on the horizon
I find myself wishing for change, its true
Wishing for change in one's life
So take me to the water on the moon
An appeal to be taken to a place of rejuvenation and transformation
If it's really over
If the relationship is truly over, reasons for sobriety diminish
Then I'm running out of reasons to stay sober
Running out of motivations to stay abstinent
I'll hide in the hollies
Returning to a hidden place for solace
I drink myself to sleep three nights a week
Continuing the pattern of using alcohol to cope
At war with my body
Ongoing struggle with one's own body
If its really over
Considering if the relationship is truly over
I'm running out of reasons to stay sober
Running out of reasons to maintain sobriety
