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

Deep Space (feat. SeanG)

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
