Failing Avalon Songtext / Lyric

Taking census of stars, counting those who project light,
Discounting those less than radiant.
Taking census of stars, Trying to capture an enlarged image of oneself.
Moving abacus sliders to negative blue, reflecting waning IQs.
Heads swelling to the stratosphere, Constellations disappear.
Absorbed into supernovas consuming ear.
Open for complements and flirtation.
Expelling the onset of unflattering remarks by grasping to a comets tail.
Marking the sky with an illuminating trail.
Take me away from all of this.
Truth burns seeping in to pores
in a descent on gravity's course.
The oceans mirror the source of this melting shield.
I presumed too much and forgot to feel.
Strength in beauty is easily lost.
Taxing the cost of burning up on re-entry.
I could capture and steal all of heavens treasures.
Bringing them to you in an open hand.
Asking only once to be judged and measured for what I am
and not for what this world has made me.
