Dead Stars

I used to admire the stars They seemed so lovely Things look better from afar Even the stars They burn out and they die Nothing's immortal in the sky I'm staring at celestial corpses Making wishes on rocks raining fire The universe is an ethereal wasteland Endless echoes of celestial pyre The stars in the night they're dying They burn and collide I'm crying They light up the sky make us smile But tonight Dead stars are all I see Their light's a memory We have stars in our eyes but I think Mine have died Life seems so far away A million lightyears Getting further every day So far away My eyes can't focus On the world outside We're seeing stars but Nothing's immortal in the sky I'm staring at celestial corpses Making wishes on rocks raining fire The universe is an ethereal wasteland Endless echoes of celestial pyre The stars in the night they're dying They burn and collide I'm crying They light up the sky make us smile But tonight Dead stars are all I see Their light's a memory We have stars in our eyes but I think Mine have died Heaven and earth it's all just hell The lights shine bright when the fires burn well It all looks so pretty so really it's a pity I've got nothing to say But still I pray The stars in the night they're dying They burn and collide I'm crying They light up the sky make us smile But tonight Dead stars are all I see Their light's a memory We have stars in our eyes but I think Mine have died The light in my eyes is just a reflection of the fires in the sky
