Scars

Stars, lonely stars
Changing their color
Hoping that someone will notice
And pay them attention again
A secret scar
Changing its color
Praying that nobody notices
All of the trouble I’m in
And I know they’re waiting
In open hallways
Caught in the doorway
For a chance to see inside
Stars, distant stars
Losing their shimmer
Rising then dropping to nowhere
And wondering if it is time
You’re buying time
Life at a standstill
And the projector is spinning
The past scenes that lock you in time
And I know they’re waiting
In open hallways
Caught in the doorway
For a chance to see inside
And how will they find me
Holy and empty
A star that is falling
That’s been lost somewhere in time
And I know they are marching
Always in a line
And someday they will find me
For a chance to see inside
I know they’re waiting for me
Somewhere inside my body
And I’ll see them marching someday
Right through an open highway
And I’ll never see through the same eyes again
No, I’ll never see through the same eyes again
