You could write a book about the way that you feel
Filling up the pages but that don't make it real
While the world wobbles by on its axis
Stars don't align and it's tragic
And it's just another day dodging the consequence
Of keeping up appearances and straddling the fence
While the world wobbles by on its axis
The stars don't align and it's tragic
Cause the worst case scenario is another black swan
You spent so long with your head in the clouds
I hope you're well aware
Every lucky streak runs dry
You can cover up your ears and block out the sound
Of your all but guaranteed comedown
In the best case scenario
It's another year gone
You turn and face the setting sun
And you can try and find a moral
A reason to believe
There's a purpose behind your suffering
Anything to soften the sting
