[Verse 1]
DMaybe I've been the problem
Maybe GI'm the one to Dblame
But even when I Cturn it off and Gblame myself
The Aoutcome feels the A7same
I've been thinking maybe DI've been partly cloudy
Maybe GI'm the chance of Drain
And maybe I'm Covercast
And Gmaybe all my Aluck's washed down the A7drain
I've been thinking 'bout Geveryone,
AEveryone you look sBmo lonelyC  
[Chorus]
But when I look at the Dstars
When I look at the Gstars

The stars, I feel like myself
[Verse 2]
DStars looking at a planet
Watching Gentropy and Dpain
And maybe start to Cwonder
How the Gchaos in our Alives could pass as A7sane
I've been thinking 'bout the Dmeaning of resistance
Of a Ghope beyond my Down
And suddenly the Cinfinite and Gpenitent
BegiAn to look like A7home
I've been thinking about Geveryone
AEveryone you looks Bmso emptyC
