Two moons (11:08)

(first version: "Cloudness", 1996)
Sometimes, two moons meet each other and decide to orbit together for a while: believe me, it's always worth trying.
Entirely dedicated to Eva.

Thanks to Aleph for a lot of these new arrangements!(from "The best (I can do)")

Two moons are floating on the fen of your denied gazes
to remind you of the time you lost in fighting the ghosts
of the windmills you'd built on your own,
just to have something to fight against
without any danger of visible defeats...
How dared you think you were winning?
Your defeat was eating you away from your inside
and you were not realising
that you had found your meaning only in fighting
There's no fight for who thinks he's already won the war.
Two moons are swimming in the grease of your suffocated
feelings. You didn't know how exciting it is to stand naked
against the wind, ruffling your hair and your emotions,
you had to drink that magic potion
for you were your own druid hiding from yourself
pretending to look for yourself and only loosing yourself
or, at least, one of your yourselves... ...the vital one!
Two moons shining, two moons breathing...
Shadows from the street, moving slowly, rise up from the deep of
your soul and you melt into tears, don't know why,
so you lie to yourself, saying: "It's normal" NO!
Don't you see it's not just your fate which rules
world's not just a container of fools
and so now that you cried your eyes out
and now you have digested your mouth
it's time to rearrange your poor room
through the fog a distant ship will loom
you now are ready to go on board
and stop your self-filling up with words
Act, if you don't want yourself to die!
Use the strength you've got to undo the tie! Now! NOW!
I seem to see a new look in your eyes, as if your spontaneity
had began to work again...Dust your helmet,
you'll have to wear it, and reach the moon...
Shadows from the street show themselves, they rised up
from the deep of your soul and, after all those tears, you
now know why, so that stop your lying to yourself and
let it be! You, fool! Let it be, you waiting for no one!
Let it be! Let it be, it's you!
I'll stake my life, 'cause I can only win it, if I play
Forgoing the risk just means to forgo living,
and dying itself doesn't mean anything if you have died yet
So I became the moon, no more suffocated feelings,
that magic potion's useless, 'cause now there is you,
the other moon...
In the sky two full moons shine tonight, they don't wonder
how long is their light to last: it really doesn't matter, at the
time, you've not to measure emotions by time...
Hairs plaited together, eyes in the eyes, silently shouting the
words that rise...Two moons are shining together, tonight...
Don't say anything, but hold me tight...
