Its a killer we’re alive

In this beautiful world

All the things that we’ve heard

They are making you and i

Forget who we really are

We’re just searching for the stars

Midnight, sit tight

Minutes, till you're off

Once you're done

Untangle the bangles cuffed to your wrists

Unstrangle your vocal chords

And hope for more

Hope for more

Your identity forged from malice

You challenge the chalice

Instead swallow tablets

Or sniff and hope for magic

Down in an abyss

Insist on just one more

Drown yourself in bliss

While he licks your open sores

So get fucked up

Keep numbing, succumbing

And i know you hope that

When you close your eyes

You'll see stars

Galaxies afar

They’re like tiny cubed mirrors

Shiny new slivers of you

Up to four at a time in one room

Reflections, projections apparently

Inherently valued by your currency

Currently you're worth two cotton cups, bottoms up

Cutting love off, clutching crutches of drug cocktails

Conducive to conducting confusion, delusion

Intrusion into your personal space

An orbital pace away from knowing your boundaries

Its a killer we’re alive

In this beautiful world

All the things that we heard

They are making you and i

Forget who we really are

We’re just searching for the stars

She said she sober three months now, she put the blunts down

She looked so hollow she floated, she couldn't ever come down

She did things for money she wouldn’t have done for free now

She was just hoping that someone would come and set her free now

Self image contorted, distorted

We tell our daughters

That you'll never do it yourself

Get with him so he helps

Make sure you never tell him

When it's hurting

Make sure you get your fleek on, keep on flirting

Cause you cannot ever be more than we tell you, no

And you cannot ever have less than we sell you

I tried to save her, i tried to save her

But she was just a mirror

My own eyelids heavy with shadow, i couldn’t see clearer

My lips stuck with lipstick, my message so cryptic

That even i missed it

We bought the chains for our own wrists

We called them bracelets

Its a killer we’re alive

In this beautiful world

All the things that we’ve heard

They are making you and i

Forget who we really are

We’re just searching for the stars

Searching for the stars

We’re just searching for the stars
