The stars were just the holes punched in a shoebox

That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe

As if every constellation was just a form of innovation

From a captor too enormous to conceive



The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school

When players hacked their way through each opposing team

And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling

On a season that he loved too much to leave



When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

It all runs together, as if by design



The boat out in the middle of the ocean

Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea

Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection

Not recognize that's what it used to be



When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

It all runs together, as if by design



Every day getting a little

More aquainted with the riddles

Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go



When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned

It all runs together, as if by design

As if by design

As if by design
