untitled

so shiny
like the sun
or a star in the heavens
i'll reach for you
it's foolish
a doomed quest i know
but it's all i can do

so shiny
pretty for all to see
too beautiful for me
and i hate that i try
i'll never learn
like icarus i've fallen
but still i think i can fly

so shiny
my failure i'll regret this
at the same time i'll bet this
won't even last in your memory
my diamonds remain buried
my smile only in shadows
where no one can see

so shiny
you burn brightly
so shiny
why do you smile at me
so shiny
   so shiny
i can't look anymore.
