Shoot Out The Stars - Kellin Watson

'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way A sad day for an inspiring artists Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist Pushing daises up And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap Shit on since the first show But we turned feces to fertilizer So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks Too young to drive But live hip hop And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends loved And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish We filled our gills with water and whipped that fucker like. So take a step back And a breath in Let it out now Put your chin up You can do it tiger You a man now And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now. So break ourselves down And build ourselves up in disappointment How fragile we are So fragile we are, we just don't show it Shake up this town And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment So sexy we are So sexy we are, we just don't know it. This is what you wanted right? How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dumb sucker? How many punishments endured for fuckin'-up in school? How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead? My point exactly But you knew you had a spark, did you? Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense Stealing verses with that cassius clay confidence Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you Just do your thing man. So take a step back And a breath in Let it out now Put your chin up You can do it tiger You a man now And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now. So take a step back And a breath in Let it out now Put your chin up You can do it tiger You a man now And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now. So break ourselves down And build ourselves up in disappointment How fragile we are So fragile we are, we just don't show it Shake up this town And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment So sexy we are So sexy we are, we just don't know it We break ourselves down And build ourselves up in disappointment How fragile we are So fragile we are, we just don't show it We shake up this town And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment So sexy we are So sexy we are, we just don't know it So take a step back And a breath in Let it out now Put your chin up You can do it tiger You a man now And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now So break ourselves down And build ourselves up in disappointment How fragile we are So fragile we are, we just don't show it Shake up this town And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment So sexy we are So sexy we are, we just don't know it.

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going 'Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Drive, drive drive, drive You want to drive all night Follow the yellow lines Don't stop or look behind And you don't want to know where you're going Just want to get lost sometimes together Drive, drive drive, drive Get lost together Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Want to get lost? You don't want to know where you're going Stepping through a hallway of trees Getting lost to nowhere's good to me Wild eyes in the high high beams Staring back at me Into endless night Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me

There was a time Where our years still just feel alive Then the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried, oh why, oh why So they looked far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little children started to cry, oh Screaming, Mama and Papa, oh why, oh why So they told them a lie Just to silence them Say goodnight And the people started to die He's singing, what a shame They've been waiting for the moment when they're finally dead Singing ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame Ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame What a shame What a shame Ooh, what a shame What a shame We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill He's singing, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He cried, what a shame He cried, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He sang, what a shame

It was late at night, you held on tight From an empty seat, a flash of light It will take a while to make you smile Somewhere in these eyes, I'm on your side You wide-eyed girls, you get it right Fall back into place Fall back into place Tender is the night for a broken heart Who will dry your eyes when it falls apart? What makes this fragile world go 'round? Were you ever lost? Was she ever found? Somewhere in these eyes Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place Fall back into place
