did you feel that? did you see that? the stars fall upon our earth the sky is falling down our race will die out but as long as i die with you nothing matters now hold my hand and watch the stars collapse i've never been so close to the sun just hold my hand and watch the stars collapse we fade away radiate and glow you're swimming through the snow you walk across the water you glide and soar

jump high, learn to fly with me swim low, not so hard to breathe with you, i can

rotate rotate rotate, just change yourself again no friends, no hope, no life what did you do with the knife? discard your feelings like his body thrown away as if he's nothing the photos take themselves off the wall so now there's nothing left for you and you're hoping it's true this place has never helped, it's rotting away, and dying out peel the wallpaper off like PVA glue dried to your skin destroying this place feels so good, but patience is wearing thin just want to run, run past the hills go further than you ever will find yourself a place so low a place where you can start to grow and i hope i even pray you're doing alright you're feeling ok i sing these sad sad songs in my head while i sleep in my shallow grave
4.
thunderstorms inside my head inside my head, there's nothing left so pack your bags and break his heart please be quiet while we reverse the car driving on 3 hours sleep the road lights singing songs to me made a decision in the worst of moods now we gotta play this out, we can't undo drive on drive on resist the thought of going home my best friend is the window my hands are cold, my lips are numb i say i love you, i can't feel my tongue walking slowly in the snow is this exactly what you said we want? don't tell dad that we're not at home we left the house before he would know that's the last time i get hurt you say but i'm not sure if we escaped there ain't nothing left here and we ain't never coming back and i fucking hate this fucking house while you hate your fucking self you made us all disappear this is the worst pain you've felt left you without any note we left you sleeping alone how does it feel to be left alone, with a hole inside your heart? do you wish you could take it all back and go again from the start? i hope the emptiness leaves you without a reason to live enjoying the rest of your life with a bottle attached to your lips

i'm holding onto your words like helium balloons in the waiting room linoleum floors and flowers for loners it's quarter past 9 and i'm still in a coma vibrant colours washed outta my cheeks the dream is real but nobody sleeps they"re all running towards the light i'm staying here, i'll survive the night talk to clouds, i'll drain the ocean and if you hold onto my hand, the sky might stay open just swim through air and meet your maker just you alone, climb up the stairs, i'll speak to you later take my eyes, shell them out i walk into walls when you're not around sun filters through the windows and i can see shadows running on the ground damp and condensation in my nose i smell the scent of outside and i'm wondering why i'm not feeling alive but i'm sure i will, once you wake me up inside
6.
forgot to close the door again letting all the ghosts and moths in no need to get defensive this isn't part of your directive ask the next place for directions we could get out and adventure we could talk about what haunts us we could walk until we're both exhausted searching for nothing killing time is something as long as you're waiting i'll be waiting there with you i can't breathe i can't breathe i can't sleep are you awake next to me? cliffhanger every time sleeping isn't what i had in mind warm the sheets up for me, please don't put your thoughts to rest, just tell me come closer girl, show me all your pain look past both my eyes and disappear into my brain what's it like in there? can you see my thoughts? you can read me like a book if you want i can't sleep no i can't

i'm confused like i always was i'm as lost as i always was nothing changes and nothing's done it's my bad but i don't want none none of this bullshit that's spinning, and taking it's toll on my friends like we knew it would cough up the reason and make up excuses like we always knew you would i witnessed water change to sand the ocean flows straight through my hands the sky is darkening again my eyes roll back, struck by god's hand you're finally falling from grace, nothing is safe i don't feel safe i can't protect you or myself from pain pain that destroys you and all that is sane don't pull up with a reason to play, this ain't a game i'm so fucking sick of your shitty charade can't you just take off the mask and take off the fake wash off the bullshit that covers your face i know you're hiding, i don't understand why you want to seem left out of place, lost in the race, leaving no trace making up lies just for fun and for games i don't want to play
9.
i'm sweating in the sun my head is aching while we run let the heat sear into your skin we're running for the dark, the night time isn't far the stars melt me away so get into bed and please settle in for the long sleep baby so get into bed and just rest your head one last time don't wake up
10.
i gave myself too long to change i gave it all up in a day given the chance again, i'd probably do the same because i don't put much faith into anything walking down the walls of my brain the clutter and mess i need to arrange but i'm just fine begging for a change without putting any effort into my day then you came along then you changed it all and i love you so much, yeah

CS verse: golden child, raised by the morning frost was never found, was never lost golden child stand like the mountains and sleep the sea stand on the edge learn how to breathe salvage the fruit, hand out the loot nothing to you, it's all for them you know it hurts, hurts in their head just like it once did to you back then but you forgot about it all mind turned to stone the gold took it's toll look at you know shining like stars gold like the sun you've betrayed everyone golden child going so fast 100 miles almost there heart so wild golden child nothing there you're my love
