Outrunning the Moon
Lyrics by One, copyright 2001

    Running from the shadows
    Running from the light
    The moon it has borne witness
    To my shameful plight

    Take off, into the night!

    Impossible chances taken
    Fleeing my own ignorance
    Innocence once forgotten, renewed and now again forsaken
    Running from the moon
    Yet still embraced by its cold shine

    Blood flows and stains
    Like a spilled fine wine
    Stained now my soul
    Heart now malign

    Impossible chances taken
    Battling my conscious
    Innocence once forgotten, renewed and now again forsaken
    Running from the moon
    It follows still, though how hard I try

    Trying to outrun my mind
    Suddenly afraid of this new me
    Trying to outrun the moon
    Truth screams like the banshee

    Fearing the darkness, fearing the light
    Afraid to be with another, yet afraid to be alone
    Running from the moon
    In the blindness of night
    Impossible chances taken
    Innocence once forgotten, renewed and now again forsaken
