lyrics

Footsteps on hollow pavement
The sound of a cold and empty street
Rain falls through the cracks
Who but a beggar half-wit
Would welcome the desolate white line
He's a lonesome man

I've been strong for far too long
Now I'm growing weary
Buildings around me stretch toward the stars
How long 'til I can be there?
The efforts brought on me are futile
The weight, a frame of the past
Though I have not found you I reach toward the sky
To my last exit

Toil for unseen ages
Come to find a mirage
Competition lies
Alive in my stars umbra
A thing with teeth and eyes
I have been mistaken
And now I wonder

I've been strong for far too long
Now I'm growing weary
Buildings around me stretch toward the stars
How long 'til I can be there?
The efforts brought on me are futile
The weight, a frame of the past
Though I have not found you I reach toward the sky
To my last exit

Change your stars
Walk through the frame and
Speak with the the analogue
Give your end meaning

Come
To find
Awake
Alive
Anew
Imbued
Sense
A crude mistake
Inside
The break
Entwined
You see
I'm free
It's all
I was
Meant to be

It's a new day at last
No more living in the past
Scars fading away
I've been waiting long enough
In this suit and tie
Waiting long enough for my soul to return

"Change your stars"
Break the frame you hold
Find yourself in the doorway of madness

I've been strong for far too long
Now I'm growing weary
Buildings around me stretch toward the stars
How long 'til I can be there?
The efforts brought on me are futile
The weight, a frame of the past
Though I have not found you I reach toward the sky
To my last exit
