I'm No Different

Stardust. Everybody wants to be free. Life is just a game.

Synth-pop transmissions from somewhere past the horizon. Songs about riding no-hands down the middle of the highway at thirteen. About a woman named Mariana behind the Tropicana. About getting killed by camera. About dancing until yesterday drifts away like ripples. About reaching nirvana and turning away.

“I'm no different. Can't you see? That life is just a game — and I'm gonna play it my way.”

Not from here. Not from now.
