Insignificant as I look at The Stars


Keep your eyes shining Keep yourself locked away Look for the silver lining say what they want you to say These are the things I am told. To be the right one don't try to be bold keep your hair in a bun. Don't go out after dark Follow all of the laws Park where your supposed to park Don't show them any flaws Keep that painted smile bright Don't let a tear fall from your eyes Squint like your looking at a light Keep repeating your lies Don't stay up late Love how you should pretend it's a wanted fate even if you don't think you could Don't let your facade go its the worst thing you could choose don't befriend this kind of foe because in this game you would lose Tell them that the smile is real I don't care if your lying Tell them that it's how you feel Stop your stupid crying There is nothing you can do in this world If you think this is cruel and mean You are still a young girl there is so much more to be seen You are not alone in your depression It is the same for everyone Even though for me its become an obsession we are all just another no one.
