The Night Sky Lyrics

We're all as dead,
as burned out,
as the stars that shine
above our heads.
We may shine as bright
and as blinding
as the sun
before we die.

Yet mere points are,
in time and in s***e,
and the sum of all of us
is not enough
to illuminate the darkness,
the ever-growing darkness.
Hide. From our past mistakes
Hide.From the night sky

Burn yourself to illuminate the night
Feeling nearly human, but not quite
Dig down deeper to escape the day
Drown yourself in soil, let the sky fade away.

Not all shall die
and cease to shine
before their light
has reached our eyes.
But the night sky glows
with faded echoes
from long ago
weary from their journeys.

And so to shall we,
in time and in s***e,
traverse infinity
merely hoping
to illuminate the darkness,
the ever-growing darkness
