if you are not a star
then you know just what you are
you're a black hole building up from afar

out there where the light
distorts with the time
and you can't see what's before your eyes

if you strain your sunken mind
you can tell you're still alive (a lie)
slowly eating up all the light

but you'll come out of the dark
and you'll look just like a star
and no one will tell you you aren't

but i wanna know if i play the part
will i be all alone, will it finally be art
cause even now, i'm falling out
with my hometown heroes and i don't want new friends

it's an unfair exchange at a compelling rate
they'll revel in friendship and i'll fall to shame
will you take me back where the buffalo roam
when i end up a hack and i'm crashing alone

if you are not a star
then you know just what you are
you're a black hole building up from afar

out there where the light
distorts with the time
and you can't see what's before your eyes

if you strain your sunken mind
you can tell you're still alive (a lie)
slowly eating up all the light

but you'll come out of the dark
and you'll look just like a star
and no one will tell you you aren't

tell me what the difference is
if i'm no failure what is this
it's never been for my ego's sake
i just wanna feel okay

life gets different and you can't predict it
so i hide in my room and i trash the mixes
but i'll be there when shit hits the fan
i just want to help you feel

i'll take you back where the buffalo roam
and maybe we can escape for a while
if we never let the song stop

you are no black hole
you are not a black hole
light moves with time
and there will always be time
