Straw Man, Sail To The Moon

Straw Man, Sail To The Moon

I prepare to be me; I fake a lot

Underneath my mask, misery shows

Behind my lies, I’m in agony

Bury me until I learn to see, clearly

Lay off your coat for me; take off your mask

Scatter your past like ash; give me your name

Straw man, mmh, sail to the moon Mmh

Derivatives, shadows, afterthoughts

Masks, images, dusty coats

Poke me, sanity; pull me, gravity

If I let go, will God carry me to safety?

Lay off your coat for me; take off your mask

Scatter your past like ash; give me your name

Straw man, mmh, sail to the moon Mmh

I used a spoon to scrape the moon

Little holes made little rooms

For the light to permeate

Lay off your coat for me; take off your mask

Scatter your past like ash; give me your name

Straw man, mmh, sail to the moon Mmh
