Song Lyrics

Why would you need a shooting star
When you know it’ll soon come true
The fairytale demons and the world in which we dream in
Is dressing up like the moon

Slinging drinks at the local stop
Shaking hands with someone real
Backstage is friendly but who takes off with the money
When they won’t let you in on the deal
They don’t let you in on the deal

And you never felt alone in the woods
You never felt scared with the ghosts
When death fell upon most everyone
You survived like a stone
You survive like a stone

“It’s too late to sing your happy songs”
As the old man slapped his knee
“You know what I’ve been thinking
My chest keeps on ticking
But it won’t go off when I need

Everyone dies with a final wish
At the end of this traveling show
Tell my first love it was funny
Tell my wrong love that it taught me
Tell my last love that I hate to go
But you know I have to go”

And you never felt alone in the woods
You never felt scared with the ghosts
When death fell upon most everyone
You survived like a stone
You survive like a stone

The landmines are sleeping as you cry to weep
But you can’t feel the pain anymore
The phantom rides the dark track
You mistakenly look back
To see yourself laying on the floor

You turn into a cackle
And your pretty shell is dead
They’re selling graves by the highway side
Perhaps you never were
Perhaps nobody cares
Perhaps you’ll haunt me tonight
Oh, please come see me tonight

And the carriage fades off in the distance
As the old man covers his eyes
He forgets what you told him
That no one can own him
When he lives where the angels fly

And you never felt alone in the woods
You never felt scared with the ghosts
When death fell upon most everyone
You survived like a stone
You survive like a stone
