Moonless night
Ships sailing through the skies
Anchors piercing the clouds
Emotion hitting the crowds

Slow music playin' in a cafe
Melody is soft but the meaning's vague
Dancers dancing out of beat
Fanfare out in the street

I'm rich in success
But I'm poor in the soul
All the things that are on my mind
Are the things that take their toll
When helpless colors fly through the night
The blank canvas still captures a frightful sight

Old man looking over the end
He tells me he's my friend
The clock struck 12 and he's gone for sure
Says he's gone to look for more

Church bells ring in my right ear
A beast growls loudly in my left
A lot of things I miss are gone but what
I miss most is dreams of music's sweet caress

I'm rich in success
But I'm poor in the soul
All the things that are on my mind
Are the things that take their toll
When helpless colors fly through the night
The blank canvas still captures a frightful sight

The wild beast is chasing after me
Anger in his eyes but he cannot see;
Blue windows behind the stars
We're becoming who we are

Who shut the singing bird's beak?
Why's the winner on a losing streak?
Ever asked a question there's no answer to?
Well that's all I ever do

I'm rich in success
But I'm poor in the soul
All the things that are on my mind
Are the things that take their toll
When helpless colors fly through the night
The blank canvas still captures a frightful sight

Moonless night
Ships sailing through the skies
Anchors piercing the clouds
Emotion hitting the crowds

Um... I don't know

I heard someone say the word "moonless" and this song was born. I guess it was just one of them things where it, I'm not sure if you believe in this stuff, you must, but when it comes to you. You know what I mean? I mean, it just comes and it goes from your mind, to your hand, and down on the paper. Because this just took a few minutes to write, and I wrote it by hearing someone say one word. It's weird.

Don't ask me what it's about, I haven't got a clue! Again, I just wrote it all like two days ago. I honestly don't remember what I was thinking of when writing it. I know what the chorus means but I won't get into that. But the beast I mentioned in the song, I realized that I wrote a lot about in my earlier crap. I've been writing my own songs since I was seven and in most of them, there's a beast. I'm not sure what the beast is, but I decided to bring it back.

But this is my first song with a different tuning. All my other songs are in standard but I tune my guitar a whole step down for this. And there's also a harmonica in case you're wondering :)
