Stars

I can't get back up, I've been down too long
I've started growing moss on all frontiers
Eye to eye, cheek to cheek, out my mouth and coming up my throat
Hand in hand, step by step, plucking daisies from my ears

You are waiting for me there, but I'm always a foot behind
And you are calling me to come near, but when I try to stand again, I see stars

And all the hurt you try to push away, and all the pain you try to hide under your tongue
They shot you down, they took your robes, they sealed your breath away
Can't help thinking you had so much more to give, you were so young
They pushed the dirt inside your stomach, tied you in knots
Told the vines to make you stay

You are waiting for me there, but I'm always a foot behind
And you are calling me to come near, but when I try to stand again, I see stars

The rot, it tore you open from the inside out
Left you with nothing but burden to carry
I begged them stop, held out my hands in asking
And then I crumpled next to you, blackened and undone

You are running from me there, but I'm always a foot behind
And you are begging me to stay back, but when I try to take a breath
I see nothing but stars

I see nothing but black
