That I got at the cookie store

Stale cookie

That I paid 4 dollars for

Do they not

Monitor them cookies

I do say

It leaves me shookie

How they let

Me eat that cookie

I find it funny

How they take people's money

Got me by the sack

Oh how I want my money back

Stale cookie

I gotta get to class

Stale cookie

Even if you miss

I always do this

"I want to be normal"

I shoot for the moon

Like I have something to prove

Not because I want to

I shot for the moon, believe me, I did

I never stopped trying

But in turn

I never stopped lying

The vastness of space was so overwhelming

I just zeroed in on what I was told

Shoot for the moon

Ok, anything to get out of the cold

Anything to not fall in the black hole

I shot for the moon

I really did

And despite everything

I was still a kid

I didn't know who or what I was

Surely that's something you know before boarding a rocket?

Seize the day

I got in anyway

They talk, they drawl, they lament about the moon

About it's greatness and beauty

Greatness and beauty

I knew I was different

I knew I was special

I wanted to die because of it

I knew I didn't belong on this planet

So when life prevails

What do you do?

I knew I didn't belong on this planet, so I shot for the moon

Maybe if I'm greatness and beauty

Maybe they'll see

Maybe they'll see

Me

Maybe I won't be lonely

If I become the moon

If I become a star

If I become greatness and beauty

Admired even from afar

If I shine bright enough maybe I'll be seen

because who am I if I'm not

That was my mistake

Not knowing who I was before getting in the rocket

Becoming something you're not is killing yourself anyway

Why do we talk about the moon like it's the only celestial object of greatness?

Greatness and beauty

Is all

all I see

I see moons

I see stars

I see planets

I see ours

I see death and birth

Passing cars

rising from the ashes

Misty eyelashes

We're finally home

I look up at the sky and I see me

I look in the mirror and I am seen

Starseeds

When you crash land in a hateful world

And you don't know what to do

Don't shoot for the moon
