Stardust Universe

In a world full

Of pretty things

You carry out

Only what you bring in

Square your shoulders

Lift your pack

And lay your feet back

Down on the track

This is the part

Where you may

Want to give in

And I will remind you

That we both

Once said

We were born

To stumble

And to learn

In a stardust

Covered universe

We demand

The impossible

And tomorrow

Is earned

Empty apartment

Rumbling trains

Eastside village

Looking good

For it's age

An ounce of pleasure

So quickly became

Another morning

With a pound of pain

This is the part

Where you will say

Nothing's wrong

I will remind you

That you

Will be strong

We were born

To struggle

And to yearn

In a stardust

Covered universe

Where you will find

Troubles

But you will not be

The first

As you travel

The white line

Stripping the gears

Eyes on the dashboard

Hands on the wheel

Running away

Like you do

You've got to slow

Your engines

When God

Is in pursuit

Under a streetlight

I call your name

It's only darkness

It's not that late

Now stop your sleeping

Pull the blinds

And pour your future

In this cup of mine

This is the part

Where you will dig

Your heels in

And build a tower

Where your sadness is

You were born

And soon you

Will return

From a stardust

Covered universe

Where the end

Is certain

But it will not be

Rehearsed
