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
