Stars Look Pretty

Astral symbols sitting pretty grinning

Floating in the firmament

Cosmic glory gorgeous safely spinning

Twinkle twinkle wishes sent

From a distance stars are always winning

Giving life and love and light

But if you ever find the distance thinning

It is time to say goodnight

Stars look pretty from afar

But nearer to the star

You burn, burn, burn

Look, but you must never touch

The heat will be too much

You burn, burn, burn

Does that make them ugly

They're destructive

They will burn anything

Or do we redefine beauty in a new way

That lets it burn everything

A paragon of power conceptually

Will need to be weakened eventually

For the minds of the masses to hold

A multifaceted panoply

The aspects of horror and rhapsody

Things of power contain paradoxically

Love, God, hate, money, evil, celebrity

All of these things carry claws

Stars look pretty from afar

But nearer to the star

You burn, burn, burn

Look, but you must never touch

The heat will be too much

You burn, burn, burn

Does that make them ugly

They're destructive

They will burn anything

Or do we redefine beauty in a new way

That lets it burn everything
