lyrics

Verse 1
Empty house, swollen eyes
Too much life to leave behind
Different place, different mind
Seemed so clear, until tonight

Pre-chorus 1
Now all the stars are blinking out
And I can’t help but thinking how
… The future’s calling

Chorus
There goes my perfect little life
(Fading slowly)
But maybe when you see the lights
(Like stars in reverse)
On any other lonely night
You might find them beautiful
You might find them beautiful
… just not tonight
(in spite over everything)

Verse 2
Ember orange, atmosphere
Hasn’t rained in several years, now
This is my battle with the sky
Inject the clouds, to make them cry

Pre-chorus 2
Now all the stars are blinking out
And I can’t help but thinking how
… The future’s here

Bridge
Ghost … in a gravity well
Lost … in my introvert’s shell
But there’s hope on this station
Even though my heart’s still breaking
As the city awakens
And I’m aching to make it mine
