She sits down across from me
on the crowded subway
Still acts like shes important to somebody
She pretends her hair is naturally blonde
Even though her roots are dark brown and greying
In her mind they all think shes twenty
Yet shes 36 turning 80 next week
Her face reads more than a hundred stories
It's like her like seems to be ending
and she can't end it any other way
She gets home, opens the door to nothingness
and thinks to herself
she says, nobody comes around here anymore
It's been years since we've seen anyone
The bottle has been her only company
Along with a handful of pills to help her sleep
Nobody comes around here anymore
They all seem to stay away
And now shes left here feeling lonely
Cuz nobody comes around here anymore
He takes her place as she gets up
And unfolds his mystery
The lines upon his face they read
much better than any written story
A thousand obsticals he's faced
A thousand times defeated
And now he sits at home alone
Wondering what all went wrong
Why did nothing happen the way he planned
He has nothing to show but his big ol' empty house
and he thinks to himself
He says, nobody comes around here anymore
It's been years since I've seen a soul
Just me and no one else ast home
Cuz nobody comes around here any more.
Rap:
Didn't mean no harm, was just out for some fun
Fell for that charm, didn't mean to hurt anyone
We were friends, thuoght we'd be forever
But then all things change and I'mm miss you forever
accoustics begin:
But don't you worry I tell no lies
Just know you'll always be the starfish in my eyes
music starts up:
No one utters a word, or whispers a verse
Ten minutes 'til the world is under our curse
I want to talk to you, through my mind
But for now I'll look through to your soul
to see what I can find.
My mind begins to wander away from me
So damn close besides me
It's a scary feeling, but not a feeling of scare
For I am where I am, but not anywhere
(chorus)
You make me laugh,I want to cry
Kiss the wind, touch the sky
Drown the sea, so we can fly
Hold up your head or we shall die.
Hell may burn and souls may fry
One day soon we all may die
So close your eyes and think of me
For my starfish, you'll always be
(chorus)
Chorus:
Dig deep into my soul
You never know what you'll find
Close your eyes and make a wish
You'll always be, my starfish.
