Star Gazing
Prince Carter
Lately i've taken to star gazing
I can't explain or reason out
the reason i've been chasing the fates
erasing my days under a sight
that's so amazing, i'm unable to gauge
how far i'd go to touch the sky
home is where the hatred is
save my kids, i can't erase this pain
the structure of my confidence
has been raized by the rain
dark clouds stir above my head
dropping a torrent of disdain
and so it's become difficult
to catch stars through the darkness
remarkable how lost i've become
wrought with naught i am, numb
yet i trudge through the mud
stuck in the muck and mire
of bad luck and dissipated desire
so until my stars return
and i elude these scars and burns
placed on me on a daily basis
i'll keep reminiscing on the basics
while masking my marks
behind cash and fasting from bad remarks
using my heart instead of logic
though the former smarts more
you've caught me at the core
lost in my thoughts, wandering the labyrinth
leaving my sins to soar, avoiding the minotaur
hoping to take to space some day
waiting to be replaced by my young
and my they one night star gaze
that i found my place in the sun
