lyrics

Roses can be red,
And violets rmay be blue,
We tend to like to simplify
The things nature will do

We tie our lives to paradigms and trust that they’ll be true
But stars don’t move
Only our views do

Take a bite of the sounds they want you to hear
Take the fight to the ground where they disappeared

Take a light to the houses they built from glass
Can’t burn it down, but crank it loud, it’ll melt fast

I’m not a voice that matters
So don’t take it from me

But boy you must be scatterbrained be unable to see

Nothing can tip the balance
The scales aren’t anywhere

And the stars show up to twinkle way out there and we say

Roses can be red
And violets rarely blue
We tend to like to simplify
The things nature will do

I’ve wondered if it’s worth it to point this out to you
The stars don’t move
It’s just our views that do

Stars don't move.
Stars don't move.
Only our views do.

Watch a face going blank for the hundredth time
Hear all the same fools saying the backs of their minds

They listen to hollow stars that never glisten
They only draw the constellations they were given

I’m not a voice that matters
i’ve just been listening

We all can see the patterns
they’re fucking sickening

Nothing can tip the balance,
The scales never worked,

And the stars show up to twinkle at the dirt and we say,

Roses can be red,
But violets I don’t see,
It’s getting to my head, the things that we believed,
These lights expect us to obsess with those obsessed with greed

But stars can’t see us
Don’t know they need us

I know the stars still move
Just slower than we do
I know stars still move.
They move when we do.
