Say, Scientist

So this is not my house
And these are not my friends

We found a different scene
But on the same streets

As far as parties go
I guess it could be worse

So I just sit outside
Under the porch light
Watch my breath and frozen words

I point at satellites
Which orbit right above me
If I could, I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

It's 2am and they're all
Into their cheap wine

But I live with a difference
And no desire to leave this step
Or head inside

So I point at satellites
Which orbit right above me
If I could, I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

And you pool out of your houses
Heads thrown back in wonder
And I'd say, "This I have achieved
And I won't ever take it back
No, no, no, no!"

So don't you say
Oh don't you say
Oh don't you say
What I should've, should've done

So don't you say
Oh don't you say
Oh don't you say
What I should've, should've done

(?)
What you should, should do

It always seems to feel
The life is somewhere else

I missed the boat somewhere
And now I pay the cost

My only weapon is
I have an option here

Of peeling back this masquerade
And bleeding on their pure white floors

I point at satellites
Which orbit right above me
If I could, I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

And you pool out of your houses
Heads thrown back in wonder
And I'd say, "This I have achieved
And I won't ever take it back
No, no, no, no!"
