If you are going to leave then don’t forget to leave something behind
It could be a footprint in wet concrete or a piece of your mind
Starlight shining right through
Sunlight is consuming you
You’re a creature comforted by the mysteries of the night
Sad and lonely when you venture into daylight
All alone with your thoughts you are king
In a room full of friends, you are nothing
They don’t want you to go
But they never want you to stay
You are good for nothing
And there is no other way

So if you are going to leave then don’t forget to leave something behind
It could be a hard earned smile or regret with some bitter aftertaste
Starlight I’ve let you down
Sunrise let me leave town
You are a simple creature with no burrow to call home
Wandering breathless between Preston and Rome
Thoughtless actions have made the living room hell
Paranoid injections of doubt didn’t go down so well
They pretend to admire you when you are face to face
They will rip you to shreds when you leave that place
A sigh of relief when you leave the room
If you are going away, it will never be too soon

If you are going to leave then don’t forget to leave something behind
It could be a mistimed reaction from my poisoned mind
Starlight I was never good enough to shine
Daylight was too prominent in my mind
Too many clouds and not one wish
Dirty minds and a toxic kiss
Pollution pours from the depths of my soul
I wanted to be but in the end I wanted to fall

You will never be able to listen to songs like I do
Do you?
You will never see the words in my poems as I do
Will you?
I was in the wrong time in a desolate place
Pining for mercy from the human race
Wanted to be forgiven as I destroy my pride
I was in the firing line , I didn’t know how to hide

Starlight so distant and extreme like I am
Sunlight burning up , radiating like I am
I am two poles and a world apart
I use my tragedy and they call it art

If I am going to leave then why should I leave something behind
When you are so sick of me and my tortured mind
When starlight can’t feel
And sunlight is surreal
I just want to bury myself deep in the ground
Without a whimper or bestial sounds
I want to leave and exit this place
For what I’ve done was a disgrace
I didn’t mean to be alive
I saw the hatred in your eyes
Now the what can be’s are no longer anymore
The scars of life have become so raw
Starlight???
Sunset?
