[Intro - pitched down, soft heavy reverb]
Yeah… the sky looks different tonight (yeah)
I’m still here…
[Verse 1]
I been losing sleep again, smoking just to float (yeah)
Pouring something dark just to quiet my throat
Everything around me feels distant lately
But I keep moving, trying to figure out what made me (I know)
Sometimes I reach out but nobody’s really there
Phone lights up and I just let it ring in the air
Same thoughts keep circling, same nights on repeat
I’m used to the static, I roll with the heat (fuck)
Mama still worries but I tell her I’m good
Even when I’m cold and I’m rolling through the hood
I don’t stress like I used to, I just light one more
What else am I supposed to do when I’m stuck in this war? (real shit)
That girl’s so beautiful, she glows like the stars
But I’m just a falling light drifting through the dark
[Chorus - melodic, dreamy, heavy reverb]
The stars keep burning even when the clouds roll through
They got their own fire, I got mine too
I’m falling apart but I’m still holding on
Hoping one day I’ll shine just as strong (yeah)
The stars keep burning even when the clouds roll through
They got their own fire, I got mine too
I’m falling apart but I’m still holding on
Hoping one day I’ll shine just as strong
[Verse 2]
This music’s the only thing keeping me breathing (real shit)
When the high wears off and the thoughts start repeating
I know I’m not perfect, I know I got flaws
But I’m building something quiet while I’m lost in the fog
I did this alone, never asked for a hand
That’s why I let the phone ring when it’s getting out of hand
Problems and old memories, I leave ‘em behind
Right now I’m just focused on clearing my mind
Even when I catch myself thinking about her eyes burning like the stars
I still keep pushing, mile after mile in the dark (I know)
[Chorus - layered + more reverb]
The stars keep burning even when the clouds roll through (yeah yeah)
They got their own fire, I got mine too
I’m falling apart but I’m still holding on
Hoping one day I’ll shine just as strong (yeah)
The stars keep burning even when the clouds roll through
They got their own fire, I got mine too...
[Outro - pitched down, falling apart, heavy echo + ad-libs]
The stars keep burning… (yeah)
I’m still holding on… (I know)
Hoping one day… (fuck)
I’ll shine just as strong… (fading)
Stars still glowing… (yeah)
Even when I’m falling slow…
I’m still trying…
It’s okay…
Vesper
