I get up at 2 pm With the sense that I've found, in time, An enemy, I don't know when But it's a change that creeps on you ―It infects your mind Electric light Gonna get me through another night Just a broken record, but I Know you play it the way I like I really want it now Did you hail from Heaven above? You come and sing to us of Love Oh, Lady Lighthouse But when you ask for requests, you know that I'll have you sing the Song of Death I like that one! Lady Lighthouse And it's a gas... Let's give it up for Lady Lighthouse I'm hungover every day I drink to work up the courage to say, "Hey, you know, I love that song you do" But I'm never gonna say it I'm much too low to speak to you, so... One drink to sweet delight And one more round to endless night That electric glow Do you feel it, too? I don't know But I'll never let you go Now, did you hail from Heaven above? You sing to them the Song of Love But then you'll ask, "Any requests?" And sing to me the Song of Death That's what I like... Lady Lighthouse And it's a gas... Let's give it up for Lady Lighthouse It all goes by pretty fast For Lady Lighthouse So raise a glass, And give it up for Lady Lighthouse Give us a sign, give us a sign, Give us a sign Give us a sign, give us a sign Give us a sign, give us a sign Gimme a sign, give me what's mine Give me a sign Give me a sign, give me a sign Give me a sign, you've got to give me a sign You've got to give me a sign... Oh, won't you give me a sign?

At the top of that hill there Is the man who used to sing He sits and frowns, but he never comes down Here to see what's happening "At the top of my hill here, I stare into the Sun, Sit, and frown, and try to pay no mind to them ―They call me 'The Lonely One.'" Are you who you are, who you are, Who you are? I wish you could be who you are, Who you are Long ago, he forgot us, Or did he forget how to sing? Still we would try, and we'd ask why, And he'd say he was a human, not a thing "Know me not to be a part Of any soul-sucking collectivity That will entice and not suffice ―Freedom lies in individuality." Are you who you are, who you are, Who you are? I'm gonna give you one chance to become who you are, Who you are "Can you see what lies in between? Will you try to qualify the thing that you've seen? Will you believe, in time, In this feeling that you can't get out of your mind? It's not a trick of light ―You're gazing into the Sun."

Drugs 02:37
Well, who first told the lie That to inspire is to sedate? I can't remember who told me, "To destroy is to create" But I know getting high Makes me look into my Black hole mind, so it's time, Gotta get a little high I gotta change my passwords The NSA's watchin' me I'm gonna kill myself if no one Calls me by three Self-destruction is the greatest thing That I have ever made Everyone knows I've always been A shit artist, anyway

Forest Child 03:49
I'm alive, a world inside my mind, And I know you know I'm a Forest Child I'm alive, you know that and I'm Begging you to come home I'm alive, a world inside my mind, And I see you see I'm a Forest Child They left me here to die But would I satisfy? No, I raised my arms, I cried, I cried out, "I'm a Forest Child" Every sign the Old Ones left behind, Every line a guide For the Spirit Side "What is truth, and what's in a lie?" "Who is God, and who am I?" Disillusion adds to the confusion Where did it all go wrong? I smiled, I sold, I did as they told The money piled up, But what happened to my soul? When they leave you to die, Oh, tell me now, Will you satisfy? Or raise your arms and cry, Will you cry out, "I'm a Forest Child"? It's not about the fortune It's not about the fame It's not about the fortune It's not about the fame It's not about the fortune It's not about the fame It's not about the fortune It's not about the fame

Question 03:32
He knew the beauty of language and rhyme He wrote lyrics upon his wall He dreamt himself the savior paradigm Dream logic leaves its mark on us all School should be fun; for some school is Hell Gazing eyes, classrooms prisons of doubt They knew he was off; they knew he wasn’t well They tried and they tried and never figured it out Let me tell ya what they said: His momma said, “He need Jesus” His poppa said, “He needs a kick in the head” His doctor said, “It’s mental illness” “It’s late capitalism,” the radicals said “It’s always the quiet ones,” they say, Hostile to those who choose silence It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy When we equate silence with violence Will you answer the Question (when he calls)? Will you answer the Question (when he calls)? (When he calls) And the Hell that is school can steal your soul And your thoughts can turn first to fire, then ash If you hear the children crying when they call roll And you see the missiles flying when you’re going to class Let me tell ya what they said: His momma said, “He need Jesus” His poppa said, “He needs a kick in the head” His doctor said, “It’s mental illness” “It’s toxic masculinity,” the radicals said Will you answer the Question (when he calls)? Will you answer the Question (when he calls)? (When he calls)

Kika's Song 03:45
Is there a song for everyone, Or just those born under the Sun? The big and the proud live a long time, But are they the ones to survive? He speaks, and knows nothing at all Who is first to fall? She knows, and says nothing at all Tell me, who is first to fall? Once, it was always the same It always came down To whom you could take down But these days we’ve Got other ways, we’ve Changed what it means to be strong The tide has turned ―You might say We’ve really come along Look at a picture of Einstein Gee, I’ll bet his muscles weren’t Any bigger than mine Still, how do you go on knowing They could use one hand And could crush you right where you stand? He speaks, and knows nothing at all Who is first to fall? She knows, and says nothing at all Who’ll be the first to fall? It’s just a sickness Time will heal the evil that was here Evil is a sickness

(Glory be to nightfall To the Time of Recall) Curse the terror the stars make I lie in wake I pray for day’s break (You know that strength comes from sorrow) But outcasts always mourn (The day weaves the threads from the night it borrows) And my dress has torn (You are a light Inside someone’s endless night) You are a curse on someone’s heart Because you can’t finish what you start (And each rabbit hole I follow) Sends me spinning in time (I met you and fell into a dream) And I lost my mind And, you know, I sing because I can’t think of anything to say And once I do, it’s too late But I know he’ll give me A two point eight Because he didn’t think I had enough to say Or didn’t say it the right way And I’ll get upset and I’ll say, “Well, who are you to judge my pain? Just who are you to say?” And I’ll get angry and I’ll say, “Who died and made you fucking King of the Pain Parade, Anyway?” And I’ll get petty and I’ll say, “Maybe you just hate women; It’s not my fault you can’t Get laid” And I struck a nerve and he’ll say, “There was a time when your music Might have mattered to someone, But someone’s said all you have to say”

Insane 04:20
The air was always clearer when I was a child And, try as I may, I can't recall The year they built that wall They say that year, the lights went out, That we roamed the streets like wild dogs, That, in Tulsa, I was shot Right by the Woodland Hills Mall And now the sky is rife with smoke, The buildings in a charred ruin ―When'd they go? Oh, I don't know, But I do recall you saying it meant a lot that I had come Not me specifically, obviously, But it meant a lot that someone had come You couldn't even give that to me Then the Sun made everyone insane I've said it before, and I'll say it again: When it's time to run, you keep a steady pace ―Steady's the name of the game Oh, and we all ran from the Sun And every day since then, you know that I've been Running from the rays of the Sun Kingdom Now, back when we had recorded music, And lots of it, I used to get so sick of hearing so many songs (Why can't you think of anything else to write about?) So many songs about love And I still hate it, but I've come to understand it, And now I've gone so far as to promote it, Although I don't have you and never will, So I don't feel too badly about it For there are just three ways to feel new again (Faith, being in love, and doing drugs) And all are illegal, and one I have, But one isn't enough, and one costs Money I don't have to spend, So what's left is love The King can't and you can't Take what is in my heart It belongs to me and not you One luminous spark, that rainbow in the dark, That grew inside when I knew That all I'd ever done, I did for you (And every song I wrote for you) And if it came to that, I'd kill for you (Anyone who tried to hurt you) If that makes me insane, I'm mad for you (I love you, I live you) And if it takes all my life, I'll wait for you (And when I die, I'll die for you)

about

Eowyn's understated sophomore effort. The black sheep of the Rainbow trilogy, "Moonbeam" offers Gregorian chants, ambient music, and Bach, making it suitable for listeners of a more refined palate. The songs center on such fun, lighthearted topics as alcoholism, solipsism, suicidal ideation, school shooters, and so much more!
