Star Sheen

There's a curve in every road
Don't swerve or you might miss it
Your head's drooping like a rose
When the sun forgot to kiss it
The desert called you there
To play songs for desert flowers
So don't you, don't you
Don't you count the hours
Caught between the leaves
Of a book you cannot read
Now the words have blurred
Your mind's disturbed
The ghouls have come to feed
I shouldn't try to dream
Of a world that can't be seen
For if you're not there
I cannot bear the stars without their sheen
Only dark can feed the soul
If you don't manipulate it
When a silent earth has spoken
Planets swoop intoxicated
So laugh with me dear friend
We'll tap dance to their punches
I need you, need you
Beside me in the trenches
Caught between the leaves
Of a book you cannot read
Now the words have blurred
Your mind's disturbed
The ghouls have come to feed
I shouldn't try to dream
Of a world that can't be seen
For if you're not there
I cannot bear the stars without their sheen
If you're not there I cannot bear
The glare of senseless gleam
If you're not there I cannot bear
The dream within this dream
