At night when I can't sleep I count the stars in the sky
And all the time I've wasted pass me by like a fleeting season
A song I live in, the highest echelon
Mind in a trance and I'm troubled, drowning in my sorrows
I seen an angel falling from Heaven
In eternal candlelight, starlight, moonlight
The walls decay with every untold secret flowing
Sound vibrations, physical manifestations prosper
When the drugs run out and there's no more smiles
I flip coins and pick flowers at twilight
Oceans drift like birds through clouds in skies I created
The sun dissolves into light, muses bleeding in my veins
The sour taste of regret, the chance that never happened
Haunts me like a reckoning
A world with no colour, I get lost in that immortal canvas
Summer love reminisce, efflorescence in prisms
The winter trees are calling my name
The yew, the seedcake, the gentle hand
The divine cards and spilled yoghurt carelessly
Pulling myself from the weeds, the plumes of smoke
Cream silver rolling down fruit hills
Separating myself from the egg whites and the darks
Clouds in mirrors and stone ripples in reflections
In the rabbit hole of dreams in my bedroom
I want this love to last forever
I want this night to never end, even when I'm anchored
To the foreboding and my house in the sun is melting
I feel the ecstasy surging like freedom to the tips of my fingers
And maybe that's why I'm calm in the drowning
My eyes are vacant like glass shadows
In dreams of befriending strange realities
I hear my mother's wisdom and I still can't sleep
These scars won't heal, but they insist on perfection
A victim of the mind's disease
Propaganda in my ears like days going by
Blue milk, blue candlewax in fertile gold skies
I see a glancing smile from a stranger
And my lips arch, I look back at his eyes, so much loss
Someone's child dying but my hand's are open
I understand how it feels, so much loss, time we can't resuscitate
Slowly walking past isolated roads, the glittering sense of freedom
Soars in my bones like wings taking flight
The cars drive off, becoming nothing in the night
This slow dance is just a mumbling
Indifferent feelings pulsating through my veins
Pulsating through my veins
A designer malfunction with a sky view
Star dance Stardrops, transformed in the chrysalis
Intimidated by life but I jumped into the deep end
And the initial trepidation wears off
I jerk like liquid, like candytuft
Each morning the indefatigable urge comes back and
At night when I can't sleep I count the stars in the sky
And all the time I've wasted pass me by like a fleeting season
A song I live in, the highest echelon
Mind in a trance and I'm troubled, drowning in my sorrows
I seen an angel falling from Heaven
In eternal candlelight, starlight, moonlight.
