Is he alive or is he dead?

Freight train running all thru my head...

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
that it's all just a bunch of matter

i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

so keep your friends close

and your enemies in you pocket

cause life in this town

is running short to

forget the ones you love.
