lyrics

"Lone Star"

I used to be a little prince With a mommy and a dad
And everything I Could possibly want
Was exactly what I had

But all those things they vanished They just disappeared like that
I was feeling like a Living cube in a
Distorted world of flats

Ah, come to me like a Lone Star
Who has never seen a face
Spiral silently around me To keep me here in place
Ah...

Then the universe It crystalized Like a fractal made of change
& everyone was just like me
Yet everything was strange

I turned into a pauper Roaming the starving streets
And I could tell that deep inside
You hurt just as much as me

Ah, come to me like a Lone Star
Who has never seen a face
Spiral silent around me To keep me here in place
Ah...

I see you and your white hot eyes burning through space-time
Let me be the living black-hole to whom you never apologize
Yes burn for me And burn too bright For me to ever see again
Any of the insane sadness that
Keeps me awake at night

School was such a drag My love it was like everyone was dead
Felt just like Rimbaud Watching all the hanged men dance
Everyone just hung around Like a failed mass suicide
Everyone just a lone star
Waiting in line to die

Ah, come to me like a Lone Star
Who has never seen a face
A'Spiral silent around me To keep me here in place
Ah...

But that ain't me, I Ain't no lone star now
Not if you are really there Heck I ain't even a star at all
You can't even see me from over there
I guess I'm just an echo Of some lonely energy
Collapsing, erupting with light
But you must look to see

Ah, come to me like a Lone Star
Who has never seen a face
A'Spiral silent around me To keep me here in place
Ah...
