Stars Like Dust - The Lonely Forest

I’m learning slowly how to rewrite every verse

My sails they catch the wind

I find a cloud and burrow in

When I am older I hope morals will make sense

I multiply my debts

I never pay the dividends

And common beauty leaves me cold and unimpressed

I smell a blooming flower I shrug away the rest

These tasteless guns and empty promises abound

I’m under cannon fire

My enemies surround

I’m sick of lying to the nicest of the nice

I never act myself

I am fire, I am ice

I cover up my warmth with blankets made of snow

Now the summer is waiting

I close my blinds and sleep all day

ohhh nooo

And in that moment I’m lost

And one more cause to sing of

All the stars they are like dust

Chemicals and spheres of rust

Everything is meaningless because

All the stars they are like dust

When I awake my lungs inflate with morning air

I’m powerless in time

Ferociously aware

With every breath I’m inching closer to an end

I’ve got open arms

Won’t you help me comprehend?

Ohh noo

And in that moment I’m lost

And one more cause to sing of

All the stars they are like dust

Chemicals and spheres of rust

Everything is meaningless because

All the stars they are like dust

I just wanted to say

Oh what a beautiful way

To waste our time

I just wanted to say

Oh what a beautiful way

To waste our time
