about

This song was written about a dream I had about a friend who had recently committed suicide.

lyrics

A Moonlit Night

I dreamed a house felt like a crypt..
Inside felt like my mind it slipped..
Into a time in space hat I could have been

The room was lit yet dark n dank..
Inside my soul my heart it sank
Until that sad photograph ..it took me back

3 portraits hung on the farthest wall...
My heart sank deep inside my soul...
Until it got so deep.. couldn't feel nothing at all

My mind in haze but a song heard clearly..
My voice sung words so sincerely..
If only my poor heart beat.. could feel the same

He sold his soul to a moonlit night .
I sit alone and I wonder why...
An imposition this lovely gift of life?

Too many hopes.. Too many dreams..
To contain in one world it seems
And failed dreams in time..
become burdens to bare

Destiny's the saddest word I know..
False hope to the sweetest souls
Meanwhile the champ..
Grinds away daily

You gotta grind, you gottsta do...
Trying don't make no dreams come true..
Try?.. You can throw that ugly word away

He sold his soul to a moonlit night..
In retrospect.. he said goodbye
Last words to me joked 'bout one last try
Last words to me joked 'bout one last try
