about

This song is about self-discipline (or the lack thereof), the Early Morning and the harsh self reflection that used to await me there, the orders I've taken from the moon, biologically and otherwise, the way nature can burst through our webs of artificial illusion to prove herself as a disregarded fundamental reality, and the regret that can hit a person in the Saturn Return years.

lyrics

The morning moon tears me out of bed, I swear, just for that cold pale stare
I used to think the lectures sucked, but now I know I am in luck
that I could decipher them at all, through the atmosphere through my cell walls, through the static of a sickly world, through resentful ovaries of girls
There's so much I missed, the years I spent head full of uselessness. I was glued to the screen, I was knee deep in the pantry. Eating myself to the other side of greedy little needs. Ten puppies clawing at the legs, Oh pick me up, oh please pick me.
And the moon is part of a mobile, it hangs above spins like a wheel
The pink puffy clouds over the trees, stars studded in blue and buried
I was goo goo ga ga all the way from the woods into town
On my back dumbfounded by the sights and sounds ignored in the background
I just arrive and take my place, dunce cap compliments red face
Detention for life for all the times, I didn't do the reading
I raised my hand and held it high but I was not listening
Head full of screaming that said, "Oh please pick me."
There's so much I missed, the years I spent uptight and pissed.
I was by the radio, tearing tissues to fall like snow. Screaming bloody murder into a megaphone with a pillow in the horn, tipping tables over then wishing I'd eaten the food before it hit the floor
The morning moon tears me out of bed I swear just for that cold pale stare. I used to think the lectures sucked, but now I know I am in luck
That I could decipher them at all through the atmosphere, through my thick skull
Through the ocean's tidal distortion, through the cramping in my abdomen
