I'm a Star 04:28
don't ya know when you walk by me what I know what my eyes can see my heart could never be held down to this earth you could nail my feet upon the ground - I'd still feel it I'm a Star wave cause I'm goin' far wave cause I'm goin' far when you squint I can look so big as I fall through the murky sea burn out before I land, you'll never see the mess but if you breathe in deep you'd feel me deeper inside you I'm a Star wave cause I'm goin' far wave cause I'm goin' far lost but I believed that I could make it from that far I’m a Star, shining so hard burning so fast, catch me in your arms while the Earth always spins too slow and the Moon never breaks too free I’d cross across the nether, untethered now oft enough to feed some dreamer or be named a gift I'm a Star wave cause I'm goin' far wave cause I'm goin' far

walkin on the line I could fall off baby but maybe I'd be fine, it's just imaginary walking on the ice I could slip up maybe but I'd be fine in time to reach you It's just your feelings that seem so bad nothing to do the times we have and all of the reason we need to make to hold tight onto what we could never fake standing on the ledge where the wind could sway me where I know you were before I pulled you in close it's all in your head, all those bad thoughts baby nothin real can do what you do to yourself now It's just your feelings that seem so bad nothing to do the times we had and all of the reason we need to make to hold tight onto what we could never fake It's just your feelings that seem so bad nothing to do the times we had and all of the reason we need to make to hold tight onto what we could never fake walkin on the line I could fall off baby but maybe I'd be fine, it's just imaginary walking on the ice I could slip up maybe but I'd be fine in time to reach you and all the danger is a lie it keeps your love so deep inside remember that my love is here and not imaginary and though we might just slip and slide we'll gain our balance just in time to take a step into the light where you will always see me (I'll will always see you)

Head Up In All Bitterness could maybe leave you the sullied thoughts could fly there’s damage in your eyes throwing punches at your pillow your fantasies can lift cheap limericks that sigh he wouldn’t come to see you he wouldn’t try to feel you read the Bronte and the Plath now you’re cutting and depressed on Earth you’re all that’s left on your bed you’re burning matches with gasoline close by there’s nothing in your sky he wouldn’t come to see you he wouldn’t try to feel you he wouldn’t seem to need you he only seems to tease you he can’t look in your eyes

about

If life is made up of tiny moments both happy and sad, then POD is a mirror of those moments and even more. Grandiosity, loneliness, anger, yearning,fatalism and ecstasy all combine to make Penitentiary of Dreams a journey worth taking. Songs veer from bombastic rock drama to intimate confessionals.
