The Stars In The Summer Sky

It’s been a long time since that day, She was sending no vibes I’ve been cold but I can’t complain I’ve been wasting her time She talks so unconventionally And likes to think she likes the same kind of stuff She’s thoughtless, but not intentionally A starless night is not enough A prison cell with walls of diagrams Capturing spirals of sparks Erasing her conscience into landscape paintings Converting her soul into charts Sometimes the world seems so still Sometimes you just can’t stop running Forever chasing a light Forever fleeing the night And never knowing what’s coming See your life as a graph A straight line away from your home See your life from the path See the dark woods you wish you had known

An afternoon to kill Sitting on a window sill Making yourself feel ill Crying in the sunshine Can’t stop but you keep trying You’ve got to make it this time The swimming pool, the gate, the square Don’t see your eyes, see your hair Only notice what you wear But it’s hard to hide without them there Another generation don’t care where you stare You’re so scared Love is just a friend you kiss
To focus on your emptiness Til there’s nothing left to notice

Forget it, it doesn’t matter The summer was spent alone Following a road into the mountains, Staying there hibernating In a cave secluded from the sun On the other side of the valley, On a blazing hillside, On razor sharp blades of grass, You built walls to protect yourselves Hypnotised, lost in each other So many people here are such bright stars And this year’s love is a shade She’s the only place your eyes can rest Cos so many people here are such bright starlight And she shields your eyes So many people here are such bright starlight She covers your eyes
