Dark Star

Go on without me, I’ve not been set free
I’ve been going on and on but the dream is a malady
I'd like to think the shade is my disguise
But where do I hide, when I'm paralysed from the surprise

Where are we, where are we going next
In my apex, I stay perplexed and vexed, you know the rest
Don't count on me, I'm lost and lost it all
In the blink of an eye, moments, before the curtain call

See the horizon, it's scorching
Icarus falling
The sky, they're watching, distancing from me
Don't feel bad for me, and do not turn a blind eye
A lesson can be taught, it's do or die for me now

I sought the masters, was taught to aim every shot
I've travelled far, and this is where I stop
For the masters are dead, from the inaction and shame
And the blame is on those ruling this city

Go on without me, I'm already burnt, from now on, I can only descent
(I'm a dark star)
Longing to finally be free and escape this city
It is my dark fate to be searching long, for a place to finally belong
(A dark star)
Longing to be free and escape this city

Go on without me, got one last fight to fight
I will die free or my destiny rewrite
In this city of light, branded a demon
A parasite vying for freedom
There is not one advantage, no vantage point to use
Dirty your hands or join the abused
Rejoice in the exploits of greater men before
Lament their past achievements tearing out your soul

For some inexplicable knee jerk reaction
I've been feeding my anger, my heart's the main attraction
For a fraction of my sanity, a quantum of my self
I've knelt to the smoke and cement
Stopped lying to myself, and lying to others
Fighting against the cityscape monsters
And what the fog covers, is millions of victims
Conditioned to be twisted cogs in the system

Go on without me, I'm already burnt, from now on, I can only descent
(I'm a dark star)
Longing to finally be free and escape this city
It is my dark fate to be searching long, for a place to finally belong
(A dark star)
Longing to be free and escape this city

I'm a dark star, without a home
Forsaken by my city, I don't belong here
Against the waves, under the killing moon
I'm the only one that hears the distant tune
Know, I will never beg or kneel
I will live free or die on my shield
For all my sins, release and acquit me
I am no longer part of this city
