You sent a message
In code
On the eve of peerless night
Your light went cold
A message
In code
You sent a message
Only I would know
Like the moon at apogee
As far away as far can be
Your absence confirms presently
The furthest that you've been from me
It's just this sad feeling that we all
Dine alone
Wagering against Pascal
Filling in our God shaped hole
Lost my hope and now it's gone
I'd make a deal with anyone
Just to have you standing there with me
You sent a message in code
A message only I would know
Note string and staff
Stay with time in their cage
The pretty words of provocateurs
Dawn a new age
D O N apostrophe T
Steal the mystery from me
I cannot make heads or tails
Of humble lives or fairy tales
Sleeping on this bed of nails
Left to walk across the coals
It's just this sad feeling that we all
Dine alone
Feeling powerless against it
I wish to be alone
