Analysis of Starlight



A cosmic collision came charging through
 the perimeter in space
 lines, form & energy
 The solace of the solar system

We live in the land of make believe
 fallen emblems with no leaves on trees
 Can't escape the way we feel
 perhaps a love embrace will seal the deal

Look at the swan upon the lake
 call it beauty in it's lasting state
 Shadows beckoning call filters through the scene
 we make mistakes cause we fall short

Laughter
 a solemn pause to Gideon
 Orion in orbit tranquil and electric
 through the duration of time we created a rhyme

A pulse of the human heart
 will light the spark of what I was waiting for
 Lest I implore another open door
 we will light a match to celebrate are innocence

Forget the night the day is far spent
 I have become cumbersome to this world
 A solace to unfurl
 the gravitational pull may bring some down

A planet that dwells beyond the great divide
 some may insist to run away and hide
 Look to the sun to help you get by
 very often it's a substance that makes you get high
