lyrics

I face the sun and watch it glow like any other star
It lights up the sky like a painting that I know I’ve seen before
I face the moon and watch it sit like any other rock
And it starts to feel like nothing really matters anymore

Caught in the gears of a fierce loop wherein I’m a test
And I’m thrown to time who lets its forces do the rest
This is not the first time that I’ve been trapped in this strife
This is not the first try that I’ve had to carry out a life

Doomed to always stop one day short of 23
Sacrifice my interest and watch my fate spoonfeed me FEAR!

There are two moons where I stand
I am the night in Pio’s hands
I am a star upon the waves
So seen but all so far away
I am a harbinger of nothing
Nothing like the clues I have
I am a martyr, for surely
Something needs this
Something needs this FEAR!

And I must assume it happens more than once

And as the waves crash over what could have once been my body
I wonder to the spirits “why the hell did no one think to stop me?”
I am a restless soul, on clouds of dust I fly
But in a moment of illusion I allow myself to die

So what brings me back?
Have my prayers gone unheard?
Is it blasphemous to curse the souls
That filter out my words?
I am a star upon the waves
I will cry for help for days
There are secrets to my ways
In that I don’t know either why I came back
