lyrics

pray to the god of the moon
to the god of the stars
when you're up in your room and
you're laying out charts
yeah you got big plans in
yellow light and
flecked pink paint

is this what it's like to get left behind?
some sad sack friend of mine
denied me the ache of the long drawn out goodbye
when you were a child, yeah, you had such energy
when i was a child
i thought you were my enemy

pray to the god of the moon
and the stars
cause you're comin' round soon so
don't forget where you are

comic book stores,
strip clubs and arcades
i heard you laugh from up in the airplane
your head in the sand
deeper
minute by minute
you can't see your flaws
it's hard when you're in them
so what do you do about that?
i guess you pray

to the one that you love
to the thing you've become
to the hissing of lawns and
the gnarled oak trees
to a tide of graves
but which one's yours?
they never told me

this is what it's like to get left behind
some dear old friend of mine
told me you died while
we both worked overtime
when you were alive
your life lengthed infinite
now i am a well with
nothing left in it

pray to the god of the moon
and the stars
cause you're comin' round soon so
don't forget where you are

so pray to the god of the moon
and the stars
cause i'll be with you
wherever you are
wherever you go i'll follow just
dive into my heart and see that it's hollow

cause the pain will never change, yeah
it only changes shape
and the grief becomes the weight
that keeps you in bed all day
so what do you do about that?

i guess you pray
