STARS

One more
Yes, just one more
Inhale, Exhale
Just do it
When gravity hits you
Just lie among the grass
Unblinking eyes
Staring at the glimmering stars up above
Your heart races
Your head pounding.

You're going nowhere fast
You have the world off your feet
Not a care
As you watch those
Beautiful, beautiful stars
Just disappear in front of you
Where have they all gone?
I used to love watching
If you gaze long enough
They seem to be dancing for you
But they're all dead anyway,
Just like the burnt out match
In my hand
We're just basking in the afterglow.

Whoever said reach for the stars
Should be brought back from the dead
So that I can kill him again
Brought back from the dead...
Much like gazing at those stars
Beautiful beautiful stars

My eyes are glazed
Where can they be?
Disappeared before my eyes
Oh there they are again
I used to miss them much
But for now
It's time to burn out another match
Inhale another lungful
Sit back
Relax
Watch the matchstick afterglow

Where are those stars again?...
