My eyes open,
its another day
and the pressure's weighing down on me.
I'm naked
sore
almost happy
as the music begins.
Feels like five years
since I've said, "I love you"
running from what can hold me down.
So, I left her lonely
in the dark blue light
of dawn.
Now, I'm drinking
till the moment stands alone.
Its another day.
Syd Barrett visions
have changed for me.
Its Christmas time in a haze.
The sun is setting on the city,
love in the neon light.
You make me ache
and wilt when you touch me
but I will never change.
Searching for love
in the neon light,
I hide my heart
in a shadow.
I'm digging a hole
in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I wish you all happiness and harmony.
