Brendan James - Constellations lyrics

Crying inside over man, over country Disillusioned by the way of it all Universe grows like a plague, like a flower No one I know doesn't search for the walls When I was young I was hope in a bottle Limited none by the ground or the sky Water and sun, I would grow and grow Limited now by the span of my life What if I was supposed to be A bu*terfly on the sleeve Of an aging, dying human being? And what if I was supposed to carry The words she spoke to me Past the tallest trees, through the galaxy? I thought my life would have more purpose I thought my day would come to call I thought my gifts, like constellations Were clear to all, to all Minimum wage for the work of the ma**es Stealing their chance with their 8 dollar bills Falling behind under stress and distraction Never do find what they're born to fulfill What if I was supposed to be An avalanche down the steep Of an underwater mountain peak? And what if I was supposed to bury Treasure no eyes had seen Since the ship was sunk over lust and greed? I thought my life would have more purpose I thought my day would come to call I thought my gifts, like constellations Were clear to all, to all I know when I go I won't ask for the meaning I'll laugh at it all like a big old bear I'll laugh at myself for the sleepless nights The purpose I sought was a younger man's care
