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

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
