lyrics

Wake from a dream of a blank page

Straighten your story, are you still sleeping

Clear headed or empty headed

With secrets that would bear keeping



Only

Looking for a star to wish upon

Ready to be used til you are gone

Collect your consolation prize

In this you’re not alone



Fear is a faith to beguile you

Outside you nothing is certain

Except how they will revile you

When they pull back the curtain



Only

Looking for a star to wish upon

Ready to be used til you are gone

Collect your consolation prize

In this you’re not alone



Trade in poisonous projection til it feels like real connection

Misdirection and rejection soothe like lullabies

When those convenient convictions

Someday reveal real victims

Will you collect your consolation prize
