Creeping Doubt

Anticipation
All day long
Something that never comes
All night, lookin back
At something that never was
Deep breath
Grip
Have to get one
Too tight
I'm just done

But then flip on the lights
Shades won't hold
For another dance with the devil
In the pale night
No, no, no, no, no, no

Is it one less
Or one more
Spin around the circle
Is it the in or
The out door
Away or to the circus
Please give me one last moment to collect myself
I try to make the choices but
The choices make themselves

But then flip on the lights
Shades won't hold
For another dance with the devil
In the pale night
No, no, no, no, no, no

Float high
On a cloud
'Til the bird deep rolls down
Splash
Fish free off the hook
The fisherman's
Worm he took
Crash
A breaking sound
The captain says the boat's run aground
Saved
Give me your hand
A lost treasure found on this stranded land
They say
Put 'em up, put 'em up
This bounty is now ours
They
Sail away, sail away
All gone
We're all alone
But my, how you can see
The stars
They've carried us home

We've been carried in
We've been carried out
We've been carried under top
And pulled back up
Red sky night
Deserving
Take me back to my sweet,
Starving memories
My horizon come
Take ten thousand sun-downs
And a million dawns

But then flip on the lights
Shades won't hold
For another dance with the devil
In the pale moon's night
No, no, no, no, no, no...
