In the Craters on the Moon (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3)

When the strain proves too much

Give up right away

When the light hurts your eyes

Stay in your room all day

When the room fills with smoke

Lie down on the floor

In the declining years

Of the long war

When the blood's in the water

And the shark's gonna come

And we swim in the dark

Until our bodies are numb

Blind desert rats in the moonlight

Too far from shore

In the declining years

Of the long war

Empty room with a light bulb swinging

When the phone starts to ring

Everybody gets nervous

Nobody says anything

The next day someone's initials

Show up on the door

I think I'm gonna crack

I can't live like this anymore

Ugly things in the darkness

They got worse things in store

In the declining years

Of the long war
