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
