Chasing Windmills

I search the stars for you
And I’m blinded by the emptiness I find
I scry the ball looking for you
But only see myself
I’ve been looking for so long
And now I don’t know
How to hold on

I’ve forgotten your eyes
But not all those nights we lied to each other
I’ve lost your name
But retained all the pain
I’m sick of being alone
And I’m starting to believe that I’ll never be thrown a bone
Cause I’m a bad bad dog
That bites the hand that feeds
I’m just another human being
Whatever that means

I’ve stared into my hands
Waiting for them to change
My fate line heater skelter
My heart line weak as ever
My life curves down
And I no longer care to make musical sounds
The truth is I’m a five who’s not alive
And I don’t care enough to change
Nothing ever made me feel like you
And now I’ve lost you to time

These words are ringing hollow
As I’ve said them all before
I just want to die
Maybe that will settle the score
After all
I’m not even human anymore
People look at me like I’m an alien
And Then the stoplight changes
I wish I could find the book of my life
I’d rip out all the pages
Leave a blank slate
Philosophically new
As the water turns from red to blue
The only thing that can fix me
Is lost to another world
So now I will shut up
And just think of when I knew you
