lyrics

The stars are so bright, tonight

In my line of sight, still I fail to find
All the stars shining bright as I fall to the sky
Everything, everything hurts
All of the nights that I once had come flooding back
And all these dreams of mine
Ghosts of a nightmare I once had come rushing in
All of these dreams were mine
Until they were broken, still they are broken in parts

What do you do when ghosts haunt your dreams
And vivid nightmares are all that you see
When every step is misplaced
And the traces of dreams that you once had are dead and gone
What do you do when you fall
You spiral and flashback to times where it all hit a wall
All of it, all of it hurts
This feeling is pain and I wish I could tear it apart

Unwilling to die, they scream in the night
I clamp my ears, keep my eyes off the light
My beating heart goes faster
I panic and flash to a time where it stopped
Had I died, forever I'd lie
In a place so cold, so devoid of life
Had I tried, maybe I'd be alright
I rock back and forth as I cover my eyes

What do you do when ghosts haunt your dreams
And vivid nightmares are all that you see
When every step is misplaced
And the traces of dreams that you once had are dead and gone
What do you do when you fall
You spiral and flashback to times where it all hit a wall
All of it, all of it hurts
This feeling is pain and I wish I could tear it apart

And I see ghosts in my shadows
The haunts and the hallows
Who deserve to be resting in peace
I see the dreams I've forgotten
Their corpses are rotten
And all that I wish for is sleep

All that I wish for is sleep

Time and time, sometimes I'll stop in a stupor, of things I've forgotten and pain I remember
When all that I know is a trembling surrender, there's people who've hurt me in my head dismembered
So look to the stars and condemn all the embers of hate that you once knew and pain, I'll remember

The stars are so bright, tonight
