Eyeless In Wonderland Too

Why can't you just be the you that doesn't own a star? the one who has no comet to hang on to out so far? Everybody loves you but you cannot know your place flashing off and on again with neon on your face. I raised you in the morning, then I tossed you to the sky I want you back the night so black has fallen in my eye. I can't come out to find you the map has turned to flame I 'm waiting here behind you where the angels know my name. Fragile floors of amber frighten me with secret stores beneath my feet I see the ones who tried to go before. Their frozen eyes rebuke me for sending you to try, to shatter time within your rhyme.... you've compromised the core. The countdown chills and thrills me I shiver and I pray, will I be there to breathe the air, that's left of what you say?
