The young stale memories of, play the role to your part
Librarian find me the pole the one that kicks your head in
To my own time role your own innocence by
Grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle
Debate to understand that we all have a flaw
Then fail to represent your life as you know it
God grant you one wish to turn back the time
Correct and create, making sense of...

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew good night
You know my Lord, when you'll be forgiven

So they pulled your confidence down with those verbal discrepancies
Now and then you'll gain what they've lost through a challenge of unpronounced
Pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it
You might be able to use the very thing that makes us up

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew good night
You know my Lord

Wait, now, here when will you believe?
Me, I'm merely asking you to help me
When did I say to murder?
Wait, now, here. Please hear me out
Time consumer, time consuming, consume me
Down, and out
Now

Me and my star, Matthew good night
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven
Maria my star, Matthew good night
You know my lord, when you'll be forgiven

Na-ha-ha-haaa
You know, good night
And I'll promise you that
