lyrics

I wrote you a letter
It must have got lost in the mail
More likely, you read it
Decided it was easier to ignore it, well I agree

And maybe this seems crazy

But there's a haze that has settled
Since I got back from the west
Something sinister is in it
But it rests behind my eyes so I can't see it

But I'm beginning to fear it

Tell me what it's like to live in bliss
In the limelight
And I'll tell you what it's like to fear your own shadow
In the moonlight

I always quit halfway through
Can't convince myself that any of this is worth a thing
A fleeting moment of happiness
A drunken goodnight kiss and I reconsider

Oh, but that's just the animal in me

Predictable intervals
Getting sick and feeling old
