Absolutely Barking Stars - Maria McKee

Her apron strings are trailing out like sparks

Her comet tail is whipping slicing up the dark

I’m her twin I live in the other half

I’m tearing at the seam but it never comes apart

And we’ve a chain to keep alive and it’s all this noise that makes us thrive

I’ve tried to trap her in my head but she knows where the light comes in

And those rays live to make her spin

And she’s wound up shooting off burning out

Tearing up the midnight heart whoa whoa

Stayed alive stayed alive so far

It’s alright

We know what we are

Absolutely barking stars

The bitch is quick I’ve tried to trip her up

She’s full of tricks and blends so sticky in my blood

But she can fly and I can only run from everything and after her

I’m wired and tired and full of holes

And she plays Pandora with my soul

I’ll never let her go… It's so quiet here without her

I don’t wanna feel myself

We know what we are…
