Constellations Lyrics



Packing the last few shirts in to a bloated suitcase

Last glimpse of comfort and the ticking clock face

I swear those hands move faster everyday

More confused than ever but I don't beg or pray

Cuz the, sparkling light from the morning sun

Is all we should need to feel one



I reach the station with just minutes to spare

Glance at my watch, times going faster these days I sware

Eyes focus up now to the trail timetable board

There's only two platforms to be explored

And it's then that I admit it to myself

That I am lost, so lost, but your the constellations

That guide me



There's a train at twelve, destination disaster

It's running on time as time runs faster

On platform two, it's destination sustainability

It's delayed though, it was supposed to arrive at 11:50

Platform one, is says stand behind the yellow line

(That I am lost, so lost, but your the constellations)

But I sit on the platform edge and just gaze at the time

(That guide me)



My mind wanders back to our oblivious existence

I'm all choked up now with the threat of distance

As the train bound for disaster chokes up at the station

I don't board it cuz I decide that it's the wrong destination

But the train bound for sustainability is nowhere to be seen

And I'm lost, so lost

Where are the constellations, that guide me?

And then I realize that

We need to use our own two feet to walk these tracks

And we have to squad up and we have to watch each other's backs

With forgiveness as our torch, and imagination our sword

(I'll need someone to write this line)

A grim sorrow, so equal and free

Every inch of this Earth is yours, all the land and all the sea

Imagine no restrictions, but the climate and the weather

Then we can explore space, together, forever



(And I am lost, so lost, you are the constellations) [X5]
