Who's Gonna Fly To Get Your Star?

Who's gonna fly to get your star?
In this race
This race of glorius vanity!
They call it a journey.
A plea of insanity.
So, where are your packs?
Where are your dreams to slam you in front?
You think you chose the paths
But it's their truth you can't confront.
Who's gonna drown to get your treasure?
In this agony
This agony of forbidden temptation.
You call it a change
But in the end it's just frustration.
So, where are your hopes?
Where is your faith to raise your soul?
A hoe is burying your earthen lies
creating only a bigger hole.
