So Jaded, Star Gazing.

She wakes in the morning

And climbs up the stairs

In the grey dawn pretends

She’s the only one there

 

She stands under water

And hides in its brace

Letting it burn her skin

Away from this place

 

She opens the door but

She keeps her eyes closed

She can't read the truth

Etched into the windows

 

She’s alone in a crowd

And she chooses to be

She’s afraid of the shock

If she set herself free

 

She’s scaling walls

One brick at a time

Fighting for a reason

To believe she should try

 

Too far gone she’s so Jaded

Without self-medication

But she's still star gazing'

She doesn’t know why

 

She knows that she has to

The empty persists

And it makes her feel small

Like she doesn’t exist

 

She floats through nirvana

On pavement and back

Gets lost under street lights

As grey fades to black

 

Her wheels turn slowly

Almost at a stand still

She feels like they'll stop

But knows they never will

 

Too far gone she’s so jaded

Without self-medication

But she's still star gazing'

She doesn’t know why

 

She knows that she has to

The empty persists

And it makes her feel small

Like she doesn’t exist

 

And she doesn’t exist

And she doesn’t exist

She likes it this way

Without a purpose

 

She’s gliding in grey light

And staying up all night

And everything’s alright

If she doesn’t think of it

 

Too far gone she’s so jaded

Without self-medication

But she’s still star gazing'

She doesn’t know why

 

She’s scaling walls

One brick at a time

Fighting for a reason

To believe she should try

 

She’s still star gazing

but she doesn’t know why

But she doesn’t know why
