Wrong Set Of Stars
From the album Convertino (2022) - download at korpenning.bandcamp.com.
I tried writing a mean-spirited song and ended up name checking the Mandrill from The Lion King so I don't know how well I did.
Lyrics:
Well the truth is
You haven't been the same since
You fell out of favour
With the better half of your sense
Head like a blank sheet of paper
That you balled up and put on your shoulder
Now we never talk much
About when you're gonna show up
Maybe running
Out of time to catch up
With yesterday's missteps
Do you ever even think that?
Head needs a Rafiki mind trick
Some kind of wake up to put you to silence
If you could only shut up
Long enough to let it speak up
Stop treating life like a worn-out movie
Waiting for the end to change
You got their back through the second act trauma
But the third act remains the same
You can pile up hope and climb as high as you like
But if you're under the wrong set of stars
You turn hope into a conman
Setting up distractions
Leave your sky alone and dark
Gone is the hope
Gone are your dreams
Gone are the west winds too
All these wasted moments
Are gonna take their toll on you
Stop treating life like a worn-out movie
Waiting for the end to change
You got their back through the second act trauma
But the third act remains the same
You can pile up hope and climb as high as you like
But if you're under the wrong set of stars
You turn hope into a conman
Setting up distractions
Leave your sky alone and dark
