Upon a Star

When I wish upon a star
Take me to this place afar
I can hear the silent scream
Of all that hasn't been
Then I'll go torment myself
With the creatures coiled in shells
I can hear them sing to me
Like haunting green banshees

Every time you tell us of your fairytales
We can almost taste the acid in the air
It's so unfair, this confined lair
But can you see what I can see?
That place does not exist

Star, please help me end this war
With the obscure and the bizarre
Shout these words that turns my fears
Into dry, hopeless tears

Every time you tell us of these fantasies
We just know for certain that you're well deceased
I wanna feel the unknown and hear the untold
But then I see that truth you seek
That you're stuck here fixed
Between and betwixt
Chained in laurels, shackled in morals
Just a strange fish by some corals

Am I doomed to keep on waiting
And still wish upon that star?
Set me free, please send me far
