Three days until the next full moon
Summer solstice will be on us soon
The stars align and the planets are in tune
But somewhere out there in the universe
Without anchor or impetus
She drifts like an auteur without a muse
But if you don't look too close at her serpentine pose
She keeps appearances up
She's passing for normal, but only just
Remember back when the days were long
And our heads were vessels for drink and song
And our bodies hummed like electricity?
Somewhere out there on life's highway
The road narrowed and I spun my wheels
And I crashed into an askew reality
But if you don't look too close at my serpentine pose
I'll keep appearances up
I'm passing for normal, but only just
Sound state is overrated, but I still feel the call
Invisible somewhat preferable to being seen for all
Three days until the next king tide
Clouds are forming on the horizon
The night is heavy with a cold uncertainty
Somewhere out there in the silent gloom
I imagined how it feels to belong
But it felt so wrong like a shift in chemistry
But if you don't look too close at my serpentine pose
Ignore the remnants of rage in my ubiquitous gaze
I'll keep appearances up
I'll make you feel like it's normal
It's just how I do normal
So very close to normal
But only just
