I starved my days, I’ve drowned my nights I’ve run campaigns against the light I’ve been the liar, I let the fire die down then shrunk back from the fight and I’ve got this feeling, this suspicion, this conviction something’s shifting and I’m lifting my feet to take the step
I’m ready now to let myself change colors with the leaves and let the wind come shake me down deliver me closer to the ground I made a promise to the moon
and outside this window I see all the other boxes box-shaped drivers, box-shaped cars those little box-shaped lives that I could live I know the shape of this room I know these walls, i know this tune I know I’m stalling and I’m gonna turn the page to show me
how I can weave my way into a tight cocoon and let it push me inside out I made a vow, I made a pledge, I made a pact I made a promise to the moon
