Burning Star - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

No one gave you the tools to make a real life

And they delivered most of the parts, but you couldn't get it right

And if your mind is blind to the walls you made in the past

And if the boredom of trivial roads has led to a crash

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers

Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star of light

And there are dreams on Earth, you need three lives to fulfill

And there are lives you live ’til the end by standing still

And we've got too many lives at either end of the night

And we've got plenty of lives cut short by what we carry inside

Somewhere up above the clouds, among a million prayers

Flies a little hope of mine, if someone out there cares

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star

A burning star of light

Tell me something I don’t know, and maybe I've lived too long

I've got a bad case of I-told-you-so, and it's hard to hold my tongue

But back on Earth, I see it here, it shines its endless light

And all I got is empty space, a burning star, a burning star

A burning star, a burning star of light
