Although most of the CD seems to blend into one big, long, sad song, I find myself listening to Further Seems Forever's The Moon Is Down over and over. Maybe this is a resulf of the well-crafted lyrics lover in me, or maybe it's my desire to fit in with the growing "emo kid" crowd. After all, if there's one thing in life that I want to do -- that I need to do -- it's fit in. Why else would I wear an Old Navy jacket? Anyway, here's the lyrics to the title track of the aforementioned album:
The Moon Is Down
the moon is down,
and heaven is waiting
for us to find her in our sites
with focus that's strong,
but my strength keeps slipping.
now we're all the terminal cases,
but we're so determined to thrive.
and those with defeat on their faces,
are those that we must keep alive.
and I admire your strength.
you keep us going on.
you keep us fighting long after the fire.
you've measured our strides,
marked the degree of our fever.
charted the log.
made sure the temperature's rising.
to fan the flames,
and brandish our new courage proudly,
as if it were ours from the outset.
as if we were never alone.
the moon is down,
and heaven is waiting,
for callers and entries
as we're calling out:
"this is ours, ours, ours. this one is ours!"
now we're all the terminal cases,
but we're so determined to thrive.
and those with defeat on their faces,
are those that we must keep alive.
and I admire your strength.
you keep us going on.
you keep us fighting
long after the fire.
