Fallen Stars

Beyond the vain

The rain bonds with the wind and pain

I watch it bend

Then the misery breaks the bond again

Blood on my shoes

From a place I never chose to name

The sky lets go

And the silence learns my face from flame

The world turns slow

When the weight won't leave me clean

I carry ash

Where the bright things used to breathe

Fallen stars stain

Fallen stars stain

On the pawns below

Fallen stars stain

The world turns

But the days burn

Hurt and fame

Hurt and fame

I saw the crowns

On the heads that never touched the ground

I heard them cheer

While the cracked-out truth was dragged around

Every step

Takes a little more than I can give

Still I move

Like a wound that wants to live

The world turns slow

When the weight won't leave me clean

I carry ash

Where the bright things used to breathe

Fallen stars stain

Fallen stars stain

On the pawns below

Fallen stars stain

The world turns

But the days burn

Hurt and fame

Hurt and fame

Let it fall

Let the hollow voices call

If I rise

I rise with dust on all

No saint here

Just a pulse inside the rain

And every crown

Gets the same dark stain

Fallen stars stain

Fallen stars stain

On the pawns below

Fallen stars stain

The world turns

But the days burn

Hurt and fame

Hurt and fame
