Census Of Stars

I'm a dream away and a sleep behind waking up safely blind
Resurrected, dumb yet protected
Confessing sins to unkind witness
Whose holding charm an arms leght distance, away
While assisting mistakes to sneak up behind me,
Finding me, unclaimed and blamed for shames sake

For every shining star there are three that have fallen
Two misjudged by hands having stolen
For every shining star there are three that have fallen
Two over looked by eyes that are swollen
with lies and a fools golden splendor

True targets of admiration stands in the shadows
Eclipsed by the undeserving,
Claiming the spotlight as their own
Enacting failures to a mass audience
Giving stage fright to greatness

Performing miracles and walking on water
When boastfully alone,
Hidden abilities un-shown, un-wept, un-dreamt
Sneak away to play without permission to say
Do you care enough to look beneath? ...or care less

For every shining star there are three that have fallen
Two misjudged by hands having stolen
For every shining star there are three that have fallen
Two over looked by eyes that are swollen
with lies and a fools golden splendor
