Derek Spaldo - Starlight

There's the sound of horns in the early morn
Waking you from your bed of scorn
Rise for another day in your gloomy way
Black cloud hovers over you

Nothing works right
Everything is wrong
You judge them all along

Like you're some kinda genius
Like you are above it
A cancer grows inside

You wanna see people fail
See 'em end up in jail
For the sins that you decide

Oh, you're a curmudgeon
A bitter young man
Go on and hide your head in the sand

Everyone is breaking down again
Smashing windows in
To escape the 9 to 5
Bounce from the hard ground and surmise that this is all there is
There is no starlight in your life

You fixate on a lucky person
Whom you are jealous of
You just can't abide it
Their existence burns you
Reminds you of your flaws
So you chastise them
You curse their name
Meanwhile, you're to blame

You're stuck in the mud
Stuck in the bad education
Your point of view needs some discipline

Practice non-attachment: the art of letting go
Release your grip
Take it slow

You're driving yourself crazy
Driving right up the wall
But my friend, you're bound to fall

Everything is breaking down again
And you'll be free at last
To escape the 9 to 5
Flying from the earth you'll realize this is not all there is
You'll find the starlight in your life
