White Lies - Night Light

I'm failing at focus Ideas are all homeless I'm flicking through days at a time Attention disturbed I didn't listen, just heard Turning worn-out into wine I gave you your moment Held back your opponents A blink isn't twinned with a lie Not mad, just concerned The neighbours all heard And there's new marks on my pride See, see all the things that I meant to do My ambition, a petting zoo Zeal in a coop Alone in the vaguest blue Time, turning my faith to ammonite Desire is worth the bite Try as I might A fool is the moon's disguise Alone but I chose it The hotel, the process I'm out of my air and my mind If this is my end, forgive all my friends To love is always to die No poem, no roses No pictures, no poses I slip out like guilt from a crime A nightmare that won, a king bed, a gun A silence too sublime See, see all the things that I meant to do My ambition, a petting zoo Zeal in a coop Alone in the vaguest blue Time, turning my faith to ammonite Desire is worth the bite Try as I might A fool is the moon's disguise So I try to keep the night-light light Cover my eyes, but keep the night-light light Hold my love tight Now that I've said my piece Fire, doctor, police Look at the marks on my knees
