The antecedent knows its own role 
And I lie in the expanse of my own soul 
As the bombs go off 
Or another person coughs 
As, I, awake in my bed 
Wonder what they would have said 
If they’d have known 
What was going down 
And I may visit the bay again 
Just don’t say when 
Because it is a futile ploy
When I see my stars in a boy 
As he shines from afar
He is my favourite star 
In the darkness of outer space
I wonder if all these years have gone to waste
Since I told him I love him 
And I would never hold myself above him 
But I feel like I was reduced 
For the receipts I couldn’t produce
So I decided to write and write 
Even if it is sometimes shite 
Trying to get it on lock 
I don’t want to be something that I’m not 
But when I take a pill 
I swear I never will 
Be all I claim I am 
It’s like Kilglass winning Sam
Impossible but still a dream 
Like me and the queen 
Inside my riverbed heart 
Blue and red from the start
Do I use the pain to make art
And the futility to show that the taking part
Is the best part of the win 
I just hope I get to be with him 
Somehow, someday
Anyway
Thanks for listening
Oh, look my teardrop’s glistening
