Aug 2012
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
