SCANNING lyrics

Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
You disappeared from my life
I gave you all I had
But it was not enough
You disappeared from my life
Its still your terms like it always was
All these questions spinning around
Somehow I keep losing my ground

Scanning through our story

Not sure if Im haunting our dreams or mine
You disappeared from my life
Im scanning through our story
Im locked in a future I created for us
you disappeared from my life
you had my heart and my time
all these questions spinning around
Somehow i keep losing my ground

Yeah Im scanning through our story

Scanning

“Tome of Stars” is a 100 sonnet journey, equal parts art, therapy journal, and exorcism, both a celebration and an elegy, a single narrative arc tracing the birth and death of a relationship. All poetry by Stargazer. The verse and accompanying synthetic art and music are public domain, CC0, with no restrictions on use. Nothing is monetized. See below for links on how to access the print, PDF, audio, ePub, video, and music files. Website: tomeofstars.net

The opening section of “Tome of Stars”, titled “Item 1: Anthesis”, comprises 21 poems that chronicle the emergence and flowering of a romantic relationship, structured around the botanical metaphor of anthesis, the period during which a flower blooms. 

“Leaves of Stars” gathers moments from personal memory, mythology, and literature to create a layered tribute to the beloved, using the motif of sacred trees as a unifying image. The sonnet moves between real places (a tree outside her dormitory, a banyan on a volcanic island), and mythic landscapes, such as Tolkien’s Valinor. These trees serve both as physical settings for intimacy and as metaphors for enduring love, spiritual connection, and cosmic beauty. By drawing connections between natural beauty, shared memory, and mythic narrative, the beloved is constructed not just as a person remembered, but as a presence who is woven into the spiritual and symbolic structure of the cosmos itself. The final couplet unites these threads into a vision of transfigured union, immortalized in writing and through the celestial symbolism of “leaves of stars.”.

Lyrics

A verdant campus row of London planes
Stands sentinel to frame a tree apart.
You watched it glow outside your windowpane—
A beacon, haven for our hidden hearts.

Across the seas, where molten mountains sleep,
The banyan’s curtained chamber clasped us tight.
With gentle winds, in tender moments reaped,
We kissed—your locks of midnight dancing bright.

In Valinor, by trunks of silver-gold,
She blessed the gems that caught their holy light;
And Varda’s hand took dewdrops to unfold,
The stellar dance that glorifies the night.

Our radiance merged as those jewels divine:
Ten thousand leaves of stars, sweet breath entwined.

"As the years draw near"

Contains a sample of the children's hymn 'Remember Your Creator While You Are Young'  by Philip Paul Bliss 1838-1876

Remember Your Creator

False Start

it might be now or never
it might not even start
all the days have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in your own little private hell
where it all comes apart
like a false start

was it mid-december
I can’t really tell
all the months have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in my own little private hell
where it all comes apart
like a false start

False Start

A song about frustration and designer labels.

Bad Boy
In a snapback cap
Doesn’t know
Why he gets mad
Oh no, it’s just not working

Mrs Diesel
Flips her lid
Can’t forgive
What Bad Boy did
Oh no, it’s just not working 

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f' christsakes
Blood just pumping through the heart

Super dry
She breaks a sweat
Has’t had 
A baby yet
Oh no,  it’s just not working   

Mr Umbro
Blows out air
Pissed he has to 
Take the stairs
Oh no, the lift’s not working

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f'christsakes
Blood just pumping through a heart
 
Scoot & Ride
Pulls out a gun
Still young enough
To have some fun
But for his Mum, it’s just not working

Belly Bandit
Looses faith
How come he’s put on
So much weight
Oh no, it’s just not working

We fixate, we frustrate
We mismate, get irate
Sometimes think we’re not that smart
Lightweights, cheapskates
We’re primates f'christsakes
Blood just pumping through a heart

It's Just Not Working!
