Into the Mouth of the Moon

from Eyeball Planet by Mother Iguana

/

lyrics

my dreams are over in the morning
the movie fades into the sky
now and then I wake up feeling tired
and someone else is looking through my eyes

someone else is talking through my voice
he tells you things I couldn't say
now and then he reaches for the wheel
sometimes I believe he knows the way

into the mouth of the moon we fall
at the edge of the echo, a face in the window
shatter the pattern and shoulder the shadow
carry it all up over the wall

out of the cogs of the clock we crawl
swallow the surface, deepen the distance
pick up the slack where the slope is too steep
now step to the end, don't let it begin again

sleep is our only mode of travel
though our destination is unknown
together we can wake up in the future
unafraid of waking up alone
let me get some sleep

time to sleep now
lay my head upon your breast
I am weary, let me rest
