Stars

Verse 1

City sky dim, but I still look up,

Stars don’t shine where the smoke’s built up.

I talk quick ‘cause the pain runs deep,

Every word I spit’s just a vow I keep.

You said forever, but forever collapsed,

Constellations fade, and I’m stuck in the past.

Streetlights flicker but they don’t compare,

To the glow in your eyes that ain’t there.

Verse 2

I trace them stars like I trace old scars,

Memories cut sharper than broken glass.

North Star lost when you walked away,

Now the galaxy feels like it turned to grey.

I pace these blocks with my head held low,

But the Milky Way’s laughin’ — it don’t let go.

Every quick line that I throw in the night,

Still don’t heal when the sky ain’t right.

Verse 3

Stars fall fast like the tears I hide,

Meteor trails in a heart that’s died.

London clouds cover all my pain,

But the night sky whispers your name again.

I’m spittin’ too quick ‘cause I can’t slow down,

Sad boy rhythm in a concrete town.

If the stars can burn out, then so can I,

But I keep lookin’ up when I don’t know why.

Outro (soft, slowed down)

Falling constellations, breakin’ apart,

Universe heavy on a shattered heart.

Quick words fade, but the silence stays,

Still starin’ at the sky till it all decays.
