Star

For a brief time the light would shine when you were a little girl

On the Horizon black nimbus start their descent

Try and run away please get away

He pushed your face to the floor

Afflicting marks that would never mend

Hide away

Things will not be easy for you

Hide away

Try and stick to your plan

Hide away

What else as a child can you do?

Hide away

Try and hold this in your hands

Star

Pale against the

Star

Cold beneath the black

Star

For me you will always be

All their words begin to build a wall, so strong and high

So you went on seeking shelter from the storm

Can you hide away? Push their words away?

In this exhausted land a crag you couldn’t find

Don’t you know it doesn’t exist in any other form?

Turn away

I know it wasn’t easy for you

Turn away

And stick with the plan

Turn away

I have to believe it’s what you needed to push through

Turn away

You let go with both hands

I only see you when it’s lonely

I only see you when it rains

I only see you when it’s broken down

I only see you when there’s pain

We sit tense and quite in a cramped room with too much heat

As you lie waves of pain ebbed and flow

Work through this day

But it won’t go away

And the choice you would have to make

Brought a new life with pain you hoped he would never know

Cut away

Things are never easy for you

Cut away

This is not what you had planned

Cut away

If I could I would take this fro you

As they roll you away I feel you slip from my hand
