The Truth About Stars
Where has the steam within my heart gone?
It seems that fire has lost its flame
The old journey still stands before me
yet the steps are not the same
A body built of half-starved daydreams
A mind of half-burned oil
The knotted cords of my resilliance
feel the strain to soon uncoil I leave myself signs to remember
that my life is not a test
for if it were, I'd find myself locked
in a cell of second-best
I have no doubt of all the love felt
I've known it all along
But who is still standing beside me
when nothing's great nor wrong? Wonder why I woke today
Was I ever even sleeping
In the peace of disarray
fall any treasures I'm keeping I hold my breath at all this beauty
at the reach of fingertip
The thought that I am just a body
helps me to retain my grip
Inside there's not that much left for you
yet you still serve to remind
my heart of its so-called future
it hasn't yet defined Wonder why I woke today
Was I ever even sleeping?
In the peace of disarray
fall any treasures I'm keeping I wait, unknown, in shadowed dust
for the suns to leave the sky
Only in the empty darkness do stars shine
All I've shared or given 'way
to add just another smile
has left me with little else to call all mine
Run away
Run away!
The stars are now too dim to see
and the sun's returning to it's home divine
Run away
Run away!
We live only in the day
leave the night for whenever we have time
[before] [after]
