lyrics

i used to be a superstar
used to be a comet bright
i was fire falling to the sea
on those crazy hot nights
i used to be the man who was
so certain of his dreams
he was already there

i can tell a tale of woe
and I'll reveal all in the end
but i can never tell the difference
between beginnings or the end
what happens when you finally get
to where you want to be
and you're already there?

i'm still trying to stay awake inside a dream
i keep crashing all across the sky
forget what love means
i'm burning bridges as I go
and running out of peace
but then even in my darkest hour
i am released

trying to escape a world
too neutral toward me
confronted daily with avoidance
inside, outside
and when you think you've got
the toughest row to hoe
then you do, you know

it always takes longer
to find the journey than the end
and after breaking all these many times
i’m learning to bend
and even when i can't determine where i oughta be
i am already there

i'm still trying to stay awake inside a dream
i keep crashing all across the sky
forget what love means
i'm burning bridges as I go
and running out of peace
but then even in my darkest hour
i am released

but now i'm out of control, no,
no matter how hard i fake it
or break it down to the bone
or erase it with almost nothing left to show
i can’t escape it, and i'm so wasted
but i'm so close that i can almost taste it

now i may never see the road
that i have chosen through to the end
and i may never reach the truth
with all these messages i send
but time's still taking me to task
extracting every toll
that's levied onto human souls
lord, don't i know
