Starborne Eyes

The pages of the past
Never seem to last
And everyone is wanting something they can’t have
And the devil is dead
He lives in our heads
In something that we’ve lost and can’t bring back
But I want you to know that I think of you in the morning light
When the dawn is brand new, and we slept until the afternoon
My cigarettes are gone
You must’ve smoked them all when I was blind in love with you, well I’d known
I’d fall
And three years has led me drunk alone with starborne eyes
I see how everything goes away from you in time
Cuz my life hasn’t changed or grown with my age
I’m still young they say, until the flowers all die and melt away
And I heard what you said about me
I always treated you wrong
I’ll hide in the mountain, won’t be missed when I’m finally gone
See faces in the dark, I hear the children bark
Orders to their Lord and to the cause
Also should they drown
I’m always feelin down
Drinkin bad beer and laying on the ground
Well I know that times have changed
Your lover has a new name
He works in cosmetics, and I’m the one who’s blamed
Cuz my life is a lie
Why do I even try?
They keep all my papers
When none of them are actually mine
