[Verse 1]
You sit on the roof of the world
Threading bright wounds through the dark
Pulling thin lines through the quiet
Naming each scar like a star
Your fingers are colder than midnight
Your breath is a whisper of frost
You measure the space between heartbeats
Counting the ones that got lost
[Chorus]
Star weaver
Why do you hang my hopes so high?
Star weaver
You tie my fears across the sky
I reach
I fall
Through constellations that you draw
Star weaver
Do you remember what they’re for?
[Verse 2]
You’re sewing old lives into orbits
Faces that flicker
Then fade
You hide all the things I can’t handle
In patterns that never get named
I talk to the glow on the ceiling
Like it might answer me back
Ask if you’re done with your mending
Or still stitching holes in the black
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Do you see me from your distance?
Just another line of light
Or a man with heavy questions
Staring up
Too tired to fight?
[ crescendo ]
If I burn out while you’re working
Promise you’ll still draw my trace
Let me be one tiny marking
On the map of your mistakes
[Chorus]
