Another sleepless night, turn off my light

turn it off

Open my books, take in silence,

and wait for the dawn

Lock myself into place

Keep the sun off my face

When the morning comes

TRY to keep it all in sight



Form one thought, break it off, take a breath,

carry on

You think you matter so much

that you're the only one

In your mind you're a star

that I can see from afar

Before you've even begun

to TRY to keep it all in sight

If you feel it then open your heart

No need to ask it what for

tried to conquer all in sight

Walled their cities as high as they could

Kept them apart from themselves

Fought for ages and raged on the plains

with reasons misunderstood

but to the common good

Raised up their idols proteced their own walked on dinosaur bones

Spread a pestilent nature from mountain to sky

Until the rivers ran dry

and the rivers ran dry

that they owned



Watch the lights flash by my window

Throw ghosts on the wall

And every room in my house

answers back when I call

Trace the outline within

Trust in dreams to begin

TRY to keep it all in sight

And TRY to work it all out

TRY if you will, TRY if they won't

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't

TRY
