What Once Was Grand by Nouveau Pauvre

Tonight I fell asleep inside the moon
My dreams echoed in spirals round my head
Perhaps I fell to Earth again too soon
For fear that I might never leave my bed

What strange and bitter taste left on my tongue
The truth I know I can't control the stars
Betrayal wove the tapestry I'd hung
Your anger stashed in tiny little jars

That heart so green in which I could confide
Has tanned and chapped and cracked a bitter end
What once was grand has now been tossed aside
That which entwined my heart was not my friend

What morning brings to change my bloodshot eyes
When moon and stars give way to sunshine skies
