Twinkle
Twinkle, Twinkle little star
How I wish I were where you are.
High above the streets of pain,
Always shining despite the rain.
The moon is white, the sky is blue,
From where you perch, your sight is true.
The sky is black, the sea is green,
My hopes are gone and I have no dreams.
Forget the money and the lies they told
Your streets are pearl and paved with gold.
Look at your nails and brand new shoes,
I can't even imagine you singing the blues.
Everyone loves you and calls your name,
So why do you walk with your head down in shame?
The defeats in my life have been defied
This is why my head is held in pride.
Twinkle, Twinkle little star
You stumble around and hit every bar.
Can't you see past that glistening knife?
What do you mean you've had a traumatic life?
I see you dancing in the rain
Why do your eyes seem so full of pain?
Twinkle, Twinkle little star
That masquerade will get you far.
