I wished on a star
but it fell in the night
I nurtured my faith
but beliefs all died
I see all the smiles
but I feel all the pain
I live in no prison
yet I am bound in chain
I lost the question
to an answer I know
I climbed to the top
and came out below
I never gamble
yet bet it all
I muted my ghosts
but they proceed to call
I live in the present
but it's already past
I'd take life slow
but it moves too fast
I reach for the heavens
but touch only ground
I am not missing
but I'll never be found
I swim in my youth
but drown in my age
I owe no tears
yet forever I pay
some of it trifle
maybe arcane
all of it a shove
as I fall
away.
