Following the Stars

We are here but maybe assimilated and don't know what's on the other side. They're either playing with bodies or playing with god and there's a fine line. There's a fog around us.
He thought he made a difference when he volunteered to take that ride and he said "in this world we're not alone" and there's a perfectly good reason he believes in that. So he signs and trains, and puts his life on the line to find signs of intelligent lifeforms.
He put a lot of lonely time in his spaceship dodging all the comets with the gasses filling up the cabin. He probably misses his family but he cannot return yet. He hasn't eaten something solid since he lifted off with just a picture and a promise that he made to a little girl asleep back home.
He wants to find a sanctuary for us animals for when us animals do more than just pollute potatoes and tomatoes. And now he wants to know if this orbit is really gonna take him back home. He left the seal open. He left the seal broken and now he plummets to the cars.
Spent a lot of lonely time in his spaceship dodging all the comets and the gasses filling up his cabin. He probably misses his family but he cannot return. He hasn't eaten something solid since he lifted off with just a picture and a promise that he made to a little girl at the window and waiting up. She's looking up, following the stars.

Stay Late

Stay late, will you?
Keep me on the path.
The lady's on the way.
Does she even know she's evil?
Does the lady love?
Does she lie down for fun?
Does the lady leave undone?
Or does the lady love?
I'm no longer a man.
She can't fool me with her womanly ways.

Rohna & I

Who's this girl fighting the world on her knees?
She doesn't need to fight it alone.
Over and over like a broken record.
Who's this girl? She doesn't know anyone.
Her ego breaking by the sound of everybody yelling.
And who's this boy trying to fight the world?
He doesn't notice his broken arm.
Why is this girl trying to fight him off?
She doesn't realize she needs him so they can fight the world.
Their voices strengthen by the proud and everybody listening.
Who never knew that they talked for many years before they were born?
In perfect sync and in perfect harmony.

Open Book

He was an open book and he cried one too many time on the feed.
But he shouted with no filter and this wasn't the place for him.
So they unfriended him and rightfully so oh no.
He was an open book when he lied.
Took it a little far when he tried to swim.
He wanted to catch the tide back to earth and make it back in time.
Just to watch it all go up in smoke just like he told oh no.
"Oh la la la la la" is all we sang.
"Oh blah blah blah blah blah' is all he said.
"Ohla la la la la" is all we sang.
"One day you'll wanna sing. One day you'll wanna sing."
