lyrics

It’s hardly the rain that I love
But covers the cold in a haze of hats and gloves
We all look the same from above
No matter the shade of the clay we’re made of
I’ve so many days woken in this place
Still too few to separate the lull from the race
It tears me in two, these tears of bleeding blue
It’s hardly the rain that I love

You’ll always be the star in these subterranean constellations
I’ll never travel far from you through this string of tunnels and rings
The war isn’t over I’ve seen cloaked propaganda, I’ve been forced into experimental anti-aging trials
I wouldn’t usually ask it but I’ve lost my yellow basket on the bus in a rush
The stories I’ve heard of dark dystopian earths and a dual universe of the cruel and perverse
It may have just been taken and mistakenly appropriated in an ethically-questionable (mildly) inappropriate way
You’ll always be the star
I write in the page as a way to engage the ends of my sleeves and fallow faculties
I will always be there, if in trouble or despair just call my name and I’ll come, don’t worry it’s already done

Looking up at leaves, we've seen the end of sleep
Drifting through the cracks
This system, far too malleable and lax

It’s hardly the rain that I love
But covers the cold in a haze of hats and gloves
We all look the same from above
No matter the worth of the dirt we’re made of
We’ve long packed our bags but have misplaced the tags, it’s been quite a day to be handled and riddled this way
The officer sat bloated with his gun perched and loaded in case the sky exploded
I suppose it was fate that it started this way but the moon will not wane without consent from the insane
An apple for an eye if you can answer just one hypothetical query regarding the location of the jury
You’ll always be the star
In this place of unrest where the monsters and pests roam the village at night with unforgiving appetite
And I will always be there, if in trouble or despair just call my name and I’ll come, don’t worry it’s already done

We’ve taken the high ground where we can see the burning sky
The galaxy will piece itself together after an experimental endeavor
I’ve seen the end of the road, and it’s as tranquil as told
But the haze from rising days is ahead so let’s not waste our breath
