lights in the sky

Flicker in the distance, dimming low Whispers in the night, they come and go Chasing shadows, leaving trails behind Only I can see what's in my mind They burn so bright, but they don't stay long I keep holding on, but something's wrong Lights in the sky, they fade away Just like everything I try to say Lights in the sky, they never tell The stories of the nights I couldn't sell Shining bright, but they don't touch me Always there, but I can't feel free Flickers dance like fire on the edge Silent whispers, promises I never pledged A galaxy that doesn't even care I reach for them, but they're never there They burn so bright, but they don't stay long I keep holding on, but something's wrong Lights in the sky, they fade away Just like everything I try to say Lights in the sky, they never tell The stories of the nights I couldn't sell Shining bright, but they don't touch me Always there, but I can't feel free I keep dreaming of the stars But they slip through my hands like broken glass Maybe they're just like me Shining bright, but still unseen They burn so bright, but they don't stay long I keep holding on, but something's wrong Lights in the sky, they fade away Just like everything I try to say Lights in the sky, they never tell The stories of the nights I couldn't sell Shining bright, but they don't touch me Always there, but I can't feel free Lights in the sky They're fading, fading Lights in the sky And I'm waiting
