what do you want with the stars anyway
your soles hit the pavement
you're running and searching
for an alternate arrangement
you've got piles and files
of missing information
can you run from your mistakes
or another twist of fate
when you've got your
head in the clouds
but your feet on the ground
orange and yellow lights
will visit you tonight
so deny your present
and you'll understand
past,
future,
the cracks left inbetween
do not scream for help
it was never coming
kill your conscience
let your mind run free
we're here to save you, of course
from some external force
whatever you do now
don't ask any questions
you think that we have
all the answers
but you don't understand
the first thing about deception
and there
he looks at you
looks at your eyes
you feel like telling him
to drop his disguise
but your breath is coming shorter now
his voice bellows loud
within the void
and you hear the truth about yourself
spelled outright
I don't know you
but I know your work
I know exactly what you're worth
and what you're looking for
I know that you drowned
a while ago
looking for answers
at the bottom of a pond
