Famous Prophets (Stars) |
Apologies to future mes and yous |
But I can’t help feeling like we’re through |
The ripping of the tape hurts my ears |
In my years, I have never seen anyone quit quite like you do |
Twin bruises on my shins |
From where I kicked the back of the seat in |
They meant what I went through for you |
But now they’re fading, now they’re gone |
(Don't spend too much time on it) |
These teenage hands |
Will never touch yours again |
But I remember you, you had a body |
You had hands and arms and legs and et cetera |
Did I fail? |
Did I fall? |
(In the morning when I wake up, are you mine?) |
Did I waste my time, waste my time on a broken heart? |
(Take the trash out like a bad dream, are you gone?) |
Or is this the start of the great silence? |
(From the old house, the fiercest heart spoke, are you mine?) |
Is this the start of every day? |
(Christmas tree’s dead, you know how time flies, are you gone?) |
I’m not gonna end up a nervous wreck |
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks |
Though I’m not gonna name names |
(Yours was an exception) |
Did the sound just stop? |
At the end of every day |
There’ll be nothing left to say |
There’ll be no backstage pass |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
We gotta go back |
Don’t get too impressed |
You might lose your breath |
Don’t predict your death |
'Cause I like you the best |
Don’t you fall apart |
You might lose my heart |
You know I love your art |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave |
The ocean washed over your grave |
The ocean washed open your grave… |
So descend into cliché |
If you’ve found your holy grail |
I could fill back in that grave |
I could hammer in that nail |
I could give you what you want |
I could give you what you deserve |
I could sing another song |
I could watch that hammer swerve |
And when the mirror breaks |
I wouldn’t miss it for the world |
Call it blackstar, call it painstar |
The same thing happens when you touch it |
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? |
Let me tell you what happens when you touch it… |
Let me, let me, let |
Let me |
Let me |
So descend into cliché |
If the music has forsaken you |
Roll the stone over the grave |
I never liked that one anyways |
Or stare into the face |
Of whatever it is that’s facing you |
And if the levee breaks |
You’ll find out what it is that’s replacing you |
And when the mirror breaks |
I wouldn’t miss it for the world |
Call it blackstar |
Call it painstar |
The same thing happens when you touch it |
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? |
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? |
Did they tell you |
Did they tell me |
What happened to you? |
(It'll take some time |
But somewhere down the line |
We won’t be) |
Love never fails |
But where there are prophecies, they will cease |
where there are tongues, they will be stilled |
where there is knowledge, it will pass away |
For we know in part and we prophesy in part |
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. |
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, |
I reasoned like a child. |
When I abandoned my childhood |
I put these ways behind me. |
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; |
then we shall see face to face. |
Now I know in part; |
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known |
And now these two remain |
