Wish Upon a Blackstar, Chapter 02

(Now I'm pushing, I'm pushing) (I'm pushing through) (I'm pushing through face) I'm pushing through facedown! I'm pushing through facedown! I'm pacing inside this empty room Told to wait til my life's withdrawn Uneasy, I'm waiting here anxiously It's a waste and I won't wait another eon Endless night Long for light My head against this tomb And pushing through I'm pushing through Facedown and pushing through Trapped and isolated Time is dislocated Eternity is what a moment seems When I can't feel anything Erasing my final memories They won't stop til my whole life's gone Uneasy, I wait for normality It's a waste and I won't wait another eon Endless night Long for light My head against this tomb And pushing through I'm pushing through Facedown and pushing through Trapped and isolated Time is dislocated Eternity is what a moment seems When I can't feel anything When life is gone without a trace And hope is lost in time's embrace I won't wait or hesitate Cause I'm pushing through facedown! I won't wait or hesitate Cause I'm pushing through If time's a song, I won't wait for its reprise I am done wishing farewells and goodbyes I won't let this place overshadow my Birthright, I won't wait another eon (Impatiently) Impatiently-y-y-y I'm cutting through the earth in front of me Bone on stone, blood and sweat married Can't hear the voice that whispers fears when my heart is pounding in my ears All I see in my mind(-i-i-ind) is not what I've left behind But all the things I've been missing in that lost eon Endless night Long for light My head against this tomb And pushing through Trapped and isolated Time is dislocated Eternity is what a moment seems When I am lost inside this dream When I can't speak and I can't scream And I can't feel anything Facedown and pushing through

(You're dreaming) Outside life's great but inside you're screaming It's not how you thought it would be? (Aimlessly) Are you hoping for something? (Patiently) Waiting for some sign? (Mindfully) It's time to jump in or simply get the hell out (Finally) I think you better make up your mind Your perfect world Has been upset And this is the best it's gonna get C'mon, get up, shake it off and work your way beyond the fallout But you still won't listen to me (You're screaming) Bam! The smack of the truth wakes you from your dreaming So inconveniently Hahahaha (Irony) It sucks that it was all for nothing (Painfully) Your plans were redesigned (Mournfully) It's a shame you didn't stand for something (Finally) Now it's too late to make up your mind Your perfect world Has been upset And this is the best it's gonna get Your life's been overrated, hopelessly complicated You can keep your fame and you can Keep your money Keep your beauty It's a shame how long you've waited, constantly constipated So grab your knees and clench your teeth and Reap your glory (Reap your glory) Ow! Your perfect world Has been upset And this is the best it's gonna get (best it's gonna get) Your perfect world Has been upset And this is the best it's gonna get
