Dark Side of the Moon
As I look to the sky
 I see the moon rise
 Noticing everything has a dark side
 Including me
 In this life I never really know 
 What was truly meant for me
 I mean I know wrong from right
 But which side is the best 
 This is the real test
 Whether I fly or fall from the nest
 Break a wing
 Fling me to the dark side
 Sailing over high rolling tides
 Sink or swim
 It’s one or the other
 No floating
 And with the weight
 I’m toting
 I’m diving into the deep
 And descending into the dark
 Trying to choose whether or not to have a heart
 I’m painting this out for you
 Call it prestigious art
 I guess my problem is my lack of care
 Always facetious
 Spontaneous attitude
 And I’m not trying to be rude
 But I’m at the dark side of the moon
 Lost my mind 
 I’m a loon
 Not changing that anytime soon
 Rough riding
 Over the sand dunes
 Stirring up moon dust
 With the rover
 Take my problems head first
 Hit the skull too hard might burst
 But honestly what’s the worst that could happen
 Just stay far from the gap and never jump to the dark side
 Now it’s fight time
 Attack
 Straight up raider
 From the dark side
 Call me Vader
 Add the moon to the equation
 It’s no question I’d be Superman
 Fly home to the dark side of the moon
 Circle back and resume the attack
 (Hey it’s your brain
 Comin’ into your little mental equation
 Patiently waiting
 To give abrasions to your memories
 And scrape away your past)
 Hey! what if I wanted that
 Bring it back
 (I’m layin’ out all your little problems like thumb tacks)
 Yeah I noticed that
 I thought I lost you what happened
 (No that was your sanity
 Which you lost to your vanity
 Lookin’ at yourself too long
 You stared straight into the veins
 It's your turn to endure the pain)
 All that’s left now is nothing to gain
 (See that’s what I mean
 You don’t deserve that green
 You make think you’re the mean machine
 But who’s the one that has to clean up
 All your mistakes)
 In this life there are no retakes
 No mulligan can bring me back from my hole
 (Look at you man you’re on a role
 All you need to find now is your soul)
 But soul searchin ain’t my game
 I had a different idea for my rise to fame
 (Yeah good one
 Add more self blame)
 Look man you’re my brain
 We’re the same
 (Not since you left me
 You’ve been renamed)
 (Insane)
