I used to think life was so complicated.
\nStuck between the safety of the past and the bulk of the great unknown.
\nOh, but it’s really all so simple, you know,? oh, you know.<\/p>\n
If I made you a telescope that saw out past the moon and right past Mars,
\nout to those other molten rocks floating ’round distant stars.
\nYou know what we would see when we looked up at all the fuss?
\nWe would see other wanderin’ souls that feel just like us.<\/p>\n
Lost, tired and waiting.
\nCorrupt, broken or fading?
\nMoments forever wasted.
\nTime ever waning.<\/p>\n
If you still think life is complicated,
\nWell just take a deep breath,
\nand think about the way we feel, together.
\n‘Cause that is reality. It’s perspicuous, crystal clear, and plain as day.
\nand all those other things people say to claim they understand okay.<\/p>\n
It’s not okay,
\nTo waste,
\nA day,
\nLike today.
\nSo open up your mouth and say,
\nThe things,
\nYou know you should say.
\nOpen up your heart,
\nthere is no time to spare.
\nLet me hear your voice,
\nLet me know you really care.<\/p>\n
‘Cause its all so simple we’re all just hearts floatin’ around.
\nWe’re all just space dust that really just wants to get down.
\n‘Cause when I see your face I don’t think of fiscal charts,
\nPoison darts,
\nOr fresh starts.<\/p>\n
I just think about us together in the dust.
\nThe dust, the dust, the dust, the dust.
\nStop actin’ like we’ve been crushed,
\nTo dust, to dust, to dust, to dust.
\nIn this cold reality, for us, all we trust,
\nis dust, is dust, is dust, is dust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
