In the Craters on the Moon

[Verse 1]
If the strain proves too much, give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes, stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke, lie down on the floor
In the declining years of the long war

[Verse 2]
Well, the blood’s in the water and the shark’s gonna come
And we swim in the dark until our bodies are numb
Blind desert rats in the moonlight, too far from shore
In the declining years of the long war

[Verse 3]
Empty room with a lightbulb where the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous, nobody says anything
The next day someone’s initials show up on the door
I think I’m gonna crack, can’t live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness, worse things in store
In the declining years of the long war
