Dead Star Shine
(专辑: King Amongst Many - 2013)
Underneath a
pitch black sky, with the
bright stars My only guide through the
cover of darkness Lying on my back, staring up through a
cloud of smoke Was when I
found a
brief moment of catharsis A
path to follow, in a
ride that I
borrowed I
hit the
road, looking for a
brighter tomorrow Live by the
sword, but the
pen's mightier I
wonder if I'll die tryna live by that motto My dad let me in on one of life's little secrets A
thing's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness In the
very realisation of our achievements Self-destruction on the
path to completeness I
be the
son of two teachers who each told me When I
got old enough not to follow in their footsteps Said I
should dream bigger 'cause they wished they coulda And that teachers never seem to get the
thanks they should get Well I'm sorry Mum and Dad but I
think I
messed the
plan up 'Cause I'm starting to think maybe I
am one I
stand up in front of these people, class is in session Pay attention, requesting they put their hands up I
ask the
questions but you have the
answers Yours is the
voice that makes the
anthem I
know it seems like nothing's going to plan, but Do you really think that this is random? There I
am looking up at the
night Getting lost in the
stars See how they burn so bright But they seem so far So many light years away they could die And you wouldn't know, still putting on a
show I
don't know if it's a
beautiful sight Maybe my eye caught that dead star shine Dead star shine, shine, shine dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine In a
minute you can get passed by You can get passed by, shine, shine dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine In a
minute you can get passed by So now I'm getting by with a
little bit of kindness from strangers Under the
skyscraper lights I
wander aimless Making arrangements, to wake your neighbours Tryna keep a
straight face when they tell me I'm famous Nah, my head in a
mess of mixed messages In the
same breath I'm your hero or your nemesis Soothsayer or conveyer of your sentiments The
object of your affections, even your therapist 'Cause therapy is what this music is A
best friend to a
moody kid, got me sitting on a
Black couch in a
padded room singing the
blues In these tunes, no wonder I'm starting to think I'm fucking losing it Sunday night revelations Misguided attempts at medicinal meditation Dunno if it's hell, nothing or heaven waiting In the
meantime I'ma have me a
celebration I
walked the
city streets till my feet hurt from the
calluses Returned home to find my hands frozen with paralysis At the
end of the
search was the
catalyst Took it back to the
lab for further analysis Heard the
siren, saw the
ambulance fly by Maybe my eye caught a
flicker in the
night sky Price of admission to the
greatest of heights And everybody got their own way to shine bright, right? There I
am looking up at the
night Getting lost in the
stars See how they burn so bright But they seem so far So many light years away they could die And you wouldn't know, still putting on a
show I
don't know if it's a
beautiful sight Maybe my eye caught that dead star shine Dead star shine, shine, shine dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine In a
minute you can get passed by You can get passed by, shine, shine dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine Shine, shine, dead star shine In a
minute you can get passed by
