Put Out the Stars

---

I've been awake for a while,
lost words trapped in the whorl of my ear
And the dark appears a little darker
For my mind to bear
So I shut my lids tight to block you out

And as stars burst bright beneath closed eyelids,
I count the days that lay waste
under a limitless night sky.
It gets quite hard to forget your silhouette
when you're such a broken mess.

Burned into the dark,
Your face dots the remnants of
The scattered pieces that connects
The person of who I thought I was
And the person I could be

And as stars burst bright beneath closed eyelids,
I count the days that lay waste
under a limitless night sky.
It gets quite hard to forget your silhouette
when you're such a broken mess.

So when the darkness consumes me once again
Can't you stay for a while, just for a little bit
Cause I'm feeling just a little bit weak
Just little bit pathetic and if you could hold me
Just a little bit tighter, maybe I'll sleep better tonight

And when all that's left is a quarter of a candle
That burns its image to the back of my eyes
Useless like everything is as of recent
I'll see your face, an imprint, a ghost, a whisper
of what used to be
And I'll sit motionless, missing you

And as stars burst bright beneath closed eyelids,
I count the days that lay waste
under a limitless night sky.
It gets quite hard to forget your silhouette
when you're such a broken mess.

So just put out the stars please, because they hurt my eyes
They sting and they burn and they're just too bright
I've tried so hard to block them out
But it gets quite hard to forget
When you're such a broken mess
