all the bright stars fade away someday they burn out while the dark stars persist i’m a star but you barely ever see me thats a paradox; shouldn’t i be gleaming? it’s my reality, i’m not one to be dreaming they never understand me, i’m looking for a meaning am i invisible, is it the darkness? or do they overlook my essence cause they’re heartless? a fly society, though i am of the farthest they treat me like i’m separated from my caucus it’s sad i wouldn’t even show up in a photo in my universe i always ride solo i’ll hit the stage one day, i’m working on my mojo i’m known to be impatient and for now it’s going slow mo i need to stir it up before i fade it tends to be more difficult while in the shade you strut around like you’re worthy of the praise i’m proud without a glimmer, i’m fine being vague all the bright stars fade away someday they burn out while the dark stars persist my father told me i was bound to be a misfit he said my future’s looking dim and it’s a sickness i’ll prove you wrong, see i wrote it on my wishlist i’m rushing to my destiny, i hope you get to witness my time is come now i have your full attention i’m sitting in your light it’s my perfect intervention i’m a phenomenon and i deserve a mention a staple in your history so witness the ascention there’s more inside this nebula they start to step forth they’re thriving on an energy, my confidence the source while on my road to stardom you’re on nothing of the sort and if you don’t believe me, then step onto your porch i have two sides like the sun and the moon i’m performing with a duo, the flow’s cold like i’m touching base with pluto you wanna shoot for the skies, but don’t aim too close all the bright stars fade away someday they burn out while the dark stars persist

i can see the stars around me shining oh so brightly reflecting on my own i hope that i don’t fade away i can see my life is flashing oh so quickly by me and i’m feeling like a supernova bout to blow away the sun shining it’s so blinding my own reflection i keep climbing i’m deep diving in wrong directions i’m residing in deep space in a different section seeing the light projection coming from my own complexion i cross paths with planets and stars like intersections far from any human life, up here you can’t find the jetsons i move fast and move past your world class hot gas, a hot mass, a hot flash deployed in this big void i keep floating black waters and black tides, a black ocean i give light to night skies, no black soul but in the end i end up as a black hole i can see the stars around me shining oh so brightly reflecting on my own i hope that i don’t fade away i can see my life is flashing oh so quickly by me and i’m feeling like a supernova bout to blow away i’ve lived life and gave light but it’s slowly fading i feel my flame in my system i can see it failing in my solar system catch me glisten while i’m sailing i’m leaving pieces of me in my journey catch me trailing i know my end is near but everything is crystal clear got other stars are all around me and they’re sparkling like they’re crystals here how can i be sad? the beauty of this universe brings me happiness, it’s fabulous it doesn’t even hurt and my end is sweet when it’s finished sorta like desert relax like lavender, spectacular when i disperse so before i go i’ll light the whole night sky going out with a bang, so long, good bye... i can see the stars around me shining oh so brightly reflecting on my own i hope that i don’t fade away i can see my life is flashing oh so quickly by me and i’m feeling like a supernova bout to blow away

sagittarius the fiery arrow late december nights around the sun and the moon glow rotating OUT THERE... in the cold empty night sky holding on to what you are holding on to something bigger free fall in oblivion towards the end of everything sagittarius the fiery arrow late december nights around the sun and the moon glow frozen picture of the past years in arrival only to appear too late for our feeble comprehension we believe we see you but we can only see what was sagittarius the fiery arrow late december nights around the sun and the moon glow

Breathe.... It’s evident my premonitions were wrong, it ain't the right time Maybe all these drugs extended my lifeline Now in my mind this part of life is overtime And I’m too scared to take life on with a sober mind Gimme them shrooms, gimme this ex, and this bottle I'm closer to the mind of Aristotle with every swallow Ain’t sure about the afterlife and whether if has a price I knew about sacrifice and the reasons I have a life I’m not that artists that sells his soul just so he sell If this is heaven on earth then please show me hell I show and tell; they know me well, the Holy Grail The only one on the Obi Wan Kenobi trail I keep 'em tuned in with a zoom lens You want the goons in? Well gimme room then I’m the comfort the moon lends when June ends I’m the reason that Neo's silver spoon bends I am living, I am dying, I am life, I am death There’s not many men left, they been left When you look in the mirror what's looking back at you? Would your reflection high five you or would it backslap you? Dope only, pressing on, adhere to the model I ain't determined to lead; I just refuse to follow I know tomorrow's never promised so I live for today Win or lose, the solace is in knowing we did it our way Premonitions is wrong it ain't the right time Maybe all these drugs extended my lifeline Premonitions is wrong it ain't the right time Maybe all these drugs extended my lifeline

all the stars are so far away and i’m floating in the blackness too much space, too much space the home i knew is gone away and i’m floating in the open only space, only space i woke up from a dream where i was laying on my back now hold up.... am i crazy or is this dream still the place that i’m really at cause early on i swore i was just laying in the grass just watching the stars pass now i do the same but the distance in between has changed to a small glass and i ask: “has the starry sea i gazed upon become the dark pond i’m really in?” “is this space pod that i’m trapped in just a boat to reach my journey’s end?” and where did it begin, i wonder am i really here, or slumber but if there’s no escaping the what’s my destination? come save me, i’m lost sir all the stars are so far away and i’m floating in the blackness too much space, too much space the home i knew is gone away and i’m floating in the open only space, only space dancing through constellations i’m taking a dip through the big dipper approaching the zodiacs i’m actually close enough to the big picture it figures that what you saw there and really what you about to see here i’m a shooting star, i promise racing with the comets, if only i could really steer i make a pit stop at all these planets that i pass but never get the chance was that too much to ask? cause i think i’m bout to crash headed directly into a planet without brake pads or ejection as i collide with this mass, smash cracks the glass, i’m left breathless (and as the stars go out one by one i am left alone) and as i lay there i knew it was over... i knew my journey was about to end but.... as i looked in the distance i could make out a figure and i could... i could make out her image but i couldn’t see her features but she spoke to me and she said “you have courage, so you will live” she put her lips against mine and i did all the stars are so far away and i’m floating in the blackness too much space, too much space the home i knew is gone away and i’m floating in the open only space, only space
