I feel that the stars are spectersGods who have no eyes
What use would they have for heartbeats
Sighs, or lullabies?
I don't like our echoed whispers
Let's paint the skies with lies
And see what dreams may come
Unless there are none
Stones and songbirds know some secret
Written in the clay
But we lost it--sniffed and tossed it
Stuffed ourselves with gray
Can't you see that
Death defines us
In a kind of way
Let's see what dreams may come
Unless there are none
Earth is six billion islands
Our glassy-eyed friends
Say the forever blind will never not see
But we are really just star dust
Angels of old rust
Shadows of sparks
Blinks in the blue
Earnest brain parts
Hollowed-out hearts
With howling skeletons
With space in mind
How can we find
We'd do it all again?
Let's see what dreams may come
Unless there are none
Earth is six billion islands
Our glassy-eyed friends
Say the forever blind will never not see
But we are really just star dust
Angels of old rust
Shadows of sparks
Blinks in the blue

six billion islands
wow
Will we get to hear the actual song someday? I'd definitely like that, although it works as poetry just as beautifully.
