the stars always add up to nothing

from twenty miles out (LP) by Nick Randall

lyrics

a book you might have read
so ive been
the words i should have said
so you knew what i meant

now you're hanging up a paper moon
got cut up on the sun and its setting me soon
and I'm hanging up stars and i just can't seem
to find the room

you composed a broken remedy
with a counterfeit conscience you wore on your sleeve
now i have to keep quiet or they won't let me leave

if i told you a nightmare was coming
would you still close your eyes and get carried away
cause the stars always add up to nothing
and the sun only wants you to play

but somehow they still get in the way

so they tied you to a blue balloon
told you not to press buttons you found in a room
but you're winning a prize
and you think you'll be getting it soon

walking down a hallway like a street
meeting strangers whose answers are never complete
and i guess it is christmas
because i can't sleep

yeah i told you again you got carried away
