Song of the Day - Fish - "Dark Star"

Dark Star
~ Fish

A naked man across the lawn
Ghosts of morning walk a carpet of tears
Croquet balls, scattered moons
Drowning sorrows on a sea of green

The fairy falls with broken wings
I hold it close to me and the let it fly
Another dream, another you
Shattered splintered shards explode into the blue

An open door, and empty drive
No kitchen drama, no final goodbye
You're making out, it's all my fault
You left to go in search of sympathy
You thrive on grief, on tragedy
You paint the pictures you want them to see

I'm just a dark star, inhabiting a silent void
Spinning in darkness, orbiting a universe
I want to be a meteor, I want to travel at the speed of light
Another dead star, silhouette against a pale moon
I want to crash into another world

That's how it was (or how you saw it)
You never talked (you never listened)
I beg to differ (I choose to disagree)
You wanted out (I couldn't take it)
You got no balls (Don't you know it)
That's my opinion (You're making that clear)
It's at an end (This thing is over)
You led me on (Tin pot poet)
I write the words down that you don't want to see.

I'm just a dark star, inhabiting a silent void
Spinning in darkness, orbiting a universe
I want to be a meteor, I want to travel at the speed of light
Another dead star, silhouette against a pale moon
I want to crash into another world

It ain't easy, it was never going to be
It's ain't no free ride, you don't get my sympathy
You should have realized you had to compromise
It ain't easy, was never going to be easy
You let my world explode into stars
