lyrics

I'm stargazing, but there has to be more this
Coalescence of elements meeting at these coordinates
Contorting into consciousnesses, consistently distorted
On this sphere of azure seas, how many times it's orbited
The light, although golden rays dispel the darkness
My vision's still too blurry to actually hit the target
You see I'm just human, cursed, confounded and such
And well, it seems all my illusions are soon to be crushed
Now I'm floating adrift this astral abyss
Looking for an atmosphere to call my own
I mean I'm searching for a satellite to call my home
But damn, it looks like I done lost my phone
And I thought I was a Libra, but what the fuck is balance
Not falling off the edge of the planet's my biggest challenge
Sorry Pluto, you used to be part of the crew
But you were just too cold and distant, now your friendships are through

I sit back, taking shots at the stars
I wonder why I can't reach that far (and I tried so damn hard)
It seems that gravity's not my enemy
The only thing that was ever holding me back was me
I sit back, taking shots at the stars
I wonder why I can't reach that far (feels like I'm behind bars)
I see that golden glow, over the horizon
Realizing his foes are the black holes inside him

I'm an orator, coordinating tongues and lore
Explorer of lost corridors, who questions what his quest is for
Why do I endure this game of philosophic tug-of-war
A mental masochist, mon amor le saboteur
Pardon my french, maybe words really just aren't my thing
Stumbles through the multiverse, this brook just won't stop babbling
But even if they're worthless, they bring tears to my eye
Maybe I can find some meaning in the dots in the sky
As I gaze upon the sable canvas dotted with light
I see a maiden, wrapped in gowns of silk, so pure and so white
A cosmic goddess, other constellations couldn't compare
To the heavenly embodiment of feminine flare
I couldn't help but to stare, what can I say
Fantasies between your knees, swimming through your Milky Way
Dreams of touching her hair, caressing her breast
But couldn't bring myself to let these dirty paws tarnish her dress
No I'm not fool enough to think she was a virgin
But her brilliance was so great, I simply felt undeserving
One night perhaps these star-crossed lovers will meet again
Until then, I can only speak of love through my pen

I sit back, taking shots at the stars
I wonder why I can't reach that far (and I tried so damn hard)
It seems that gravity's not my enemy
The only thing that was ever holding me back was me
I sit back, taking shots at the stars
I wonder why I can't reach that far (feels like I'm behind bars)
I see that golden glow, over the horizon
Realizing his foes are the black holes inside him

Polaris please, Polaris please, tell me why you lied to me
Pouring out my heart until there's nothing left inside of me
Paranoid, I don't even trust Myself to confide in Me
Losing all the care and respect of those who relied on me
Wait, maybe that's what I had yet to learn
Focus on my goals, regardless of how the tables turn
Yearning to be praised for luminosity
Such feats can't be attained with astrology, astronomy
I quit sitting back, decided it's time to take a stand
A wanderer whose wondering what wonders lie beneath these sands
Is buried treasure hiding under the dunes
Or is it merely a sarcophagus, my fantasy's tomb
I quit sitting back, decided I don't have time to wait
The embers in the sky have no right to decide my fate
So I'll forgo all of those wishes upon stars
And no, there won't be any shootings tomorrow
