Star Falling Down, Star On the Ground

It's just a feeling,
that is within me,
its like I'm stealing,
a thing that can't be,
the paint is peeling,
you see what I see,
it is revealing,
this thing that can't be.

The motion of the ocean,
is the love that you make,
you might need some lotion,
when your skin starts to break,
you might need a potion,
or some pills you can take,
because your deepest devotion,
is what is at stake.

When you lose the feeling,
you tremble and quake,
you consider stealing,
your will starts to break,
the pain is revealing,
more than you can take,
to begin the healing,
you make as you fake.

It was just a feeling,
Taken too far
you stare at the ceiling,
you sit at the bar,
your skin it is peeling, 
you wish on a star,
the pain is revealing,
its all that you are.
