Don't be surprised
if the stars in your eyes
leave you blinded

if the things that we dream
fall apart at the seams
they're misguided

you can't hide that you tried
that it hurt and you cried
don't deny it

and now you think twice
as your new dreams arise
afraid one more time you might buy in

then go the days
slipping away
they're behind you

fading away
the seconds each day
will not try to

remind you each day
is a step towards the grave
that's our due

though you're here in this place
one of these days
the world will go on without you.
