Lyrics
[Verse 1] Star Cecil, left me alone, torn This folding brush I found in store That I fell for, too good to turn around And you gave me much more to hold Believing you here, I dissemble

So now I'm sore, dissatisfied all the time Remembered you told me Said over the hills, catch me far away Far away

[Chorus] Well now, maybe We were so good enough to fly by But now that summer died We'd be sure, we were going back for a ride

[Verse 2] Star Cecil, my heart in your hands, stone Turn me to full, I'm empty, I need you So now I wait for your return, capture, a pleasant departure Too tired, but I best be going home

[Chorus] Well now, maybe We were so good enough to fly by But now that summer died We were sure, we were going back for a ride

So now I'm hard, down, deeper Enough to well bury my love, tonight Oh, now I'm never gonna go back there Star Cecil, where'd you go, tonight?

[Interlude] Bored, I miss you

[Bridge] Oh yeah, sore, we taste Remember three years ago? Said bring me here, please release my own child Now that summer died, we go alone

Sore, we taste Remember three years ago? Said bring me here, please release my own child Now that summer died, we go alone

[Verse 3] Star Cecil, bring me home Guess it's time to catch my own star

[Chorus] Well now, maybe We were so good enough to fly by Well, now that summer died We were sure, we were going back for a ride

So now I'm hard, down, deeper In us, when it's so good enough to fly by Well, now I'm never gonna go back there Star Cecil, where'd you go, tonight?

Story Context
"" This track has a connection to The Amory Wars. Based on the first line ("Star Cecil, left me alone, torn") this is probably from Claudio Kilgannon's perspective after he's left Camp Si-Revody and begins wandering the decrepit streets of Godder Damm on the planet of Shylos X. The song seems to be lament that he had to separate from his friend to protect them. He's a bit sad about it, but resolved its for the best. He still deals with what happened "three years ago" "that summer" that "died" which probably refers to the death of his family.
