I've been out of the in for so long
I don't know how long it's been
Counting the days for nothing
Wanting what you can't have
Beautiful rendezvous with you that never seems to happen
Adding to the ashes as we fade away
Ashes near the sun from dreamers far along their way
Ashes near the sun
Remember when the sky turned brown
Wondering what makes you proud
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Wonder if I'll make it through
A twisted kind of vision to have
Trips we'll never take cause you'd trade the green ground in for red
But know it's no good for your head
Getting closer to the closest star
From the ground it's way too far
No one here ever stays young
Treasure those you think you love
Try not to be gone too long
Per aspera ad astra
All the best things won't come free
Not a game to walk out clean
Turn your nightmares into dreams, reality's a shifty thing
For what you want you'll have to run
Run until you're ashes
Ashes near the sun
