Stardust Universe

In a world full of pretty things

You carry out only what you bring in

Square your shoulders

Lift your pack

And lay your feet back down on the track

This is the part where you may want to give in

And I will remind you that we both once said

We were born to stumble and to learn

In a stardust covered universe

We demand the impossible

And tomorrow is earned

Empty apartment, rumbling trains

Eastside village looking good for its age

An ounce of pleasure so quickly became

Another morning with a pound of pain

This is the part where you will say nothing's wrong

I will remind you that you will be strong

We were born to struggle and to yearn

In a stardust covered universe

Where you will find troubles

But you will not be the first

As you travel the white line, stripping the gears

Eyes on the dashboard, hands on the wheel

Running away like you do

You've got to slow your engines

When God is in pursuit

Under a streetlight I call your name

It's only darkness, it's not that late

Now stop your sleeping, pull the blinds

And pour your future in this cup of mine

This is the part where you will dig your heels in

And build a tower where your sadness is

You were born, and soon you will return

From a stardust covered universe

Where the end is certain

But it will not be rehearsed
