The Strays

[Verse 1]
I still cheer for you, ten years down the line
Time’s stepped away from me
Stained with tiger stripes, losing all your lives
Stray from this boring dream
What must it be like with your world alight?
Hard to swallow, but hunger’s the best spice
Catch a warrior’s eye with an asteroid’s sigh, stray

[Chorus]
How could I stay here and rust when I’m set to explode?
You can outrun everything but the debts that you owe
You think I’m vicious, but you don’t know what vicious is
I’m numb from the distance, so stub out the stars on my wrist
Stub out the stars on my wrist

[Verse 2]
If it’s just the bored, asking this kind of thing
"Where do we fit in?"
Watch the stardust rise with your reddened eyes
Take what you want from it
We’re the last ones left, left to convalesce
Get the others and cut to the next scene
To be truly free, freedom comes not from but through me, take

[Chorus]
How could I stay here and rust when I’m set to explode?
You can outrun everything but the debts that you owe
You think I’m vicious, but you don’t know what vicious is
I’m numb from the distance, so stub out the stars on my wrist
Stub out the stars on my wrist

[Bridge]
Do you remember when the stars were much higher?
You would try to count them all, but you grew tired

[Chorus]
How could I stay here and rust when I’m set to explode?
You can outrun everything but the debts that you owe
You think I’m vicious, but you don’t know what vicious is
I’m numb from the distance, so stub out the stars on my wrist
Stub out the stars on my wrist
