Stardate II Lyrics

If I could I would

Seal good moments in some tree resin

Keep the amber on my dashboard for when I lose vision

In the grand scope of things, the good days fade to grey

When my memory makes mistakes

I've been saving good vibes and warm moments on my phone

Accounting for the dark marrow in my bones

I've been writing more messages to people I know most

Tryna keep 'em close so I can glow

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

If I could I would

Preserve this day in a .JPEG

Look back in a month feel exactly how I did

In the same breath, maybe it's for the best

Grabbing at a moment to capture it can be stress, but

I've been saving good vibes when it feels right

To peruse when job providers pull the chain tight

I've been floating round my neighbourhood

Ignoring everything I left inside, I'm chasing the light, like

Never giving up the fight against depression

I'll be serving 80 to life, there is no question

Just a reality show where I have to accept

This pain will persist if I stay a contestant

But I keep on dreaming, keep on practicing

I've been getting better, I've been acting

But in that act of distraction and practice

I find a lot of real satisfaction and I glow

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

Stardate, 2018

Boxing day and I'm alone with this aching pain

Never knew exactly where it came

Felt I cast shadows upon every planet I gaze

Seemed there was no point fighting the fate

Knowing nothing about what was coming my way

The following years were headlights off navigating the dark

But I never stopped chasing the spark

Stardate, scribble down whatever

Surrounded by friends and never felt any better

While the engine might be idling a while, that's fine

At least I'm enjoying the weather, like

Stardate, scribble down whatever

Been meaning to call some friends I miss the chatter

But maybe I'll just lie here, it takes work to turn the chapter

But the second I'm ready, give me the latter

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

Where we're bound for, I don't know

A distant star or close to home

Carve that path through the unknown

Don't you dare ever give up hope

Ooh

Ooh
