lyrics

No Stars Tonight
DADF#AD capo 2
—can’t find a star tonight
i’m too tired to look outside
my eyes are too red, my legs are buzzing
not even asleep, nightmare’s got no ending
—i try to move on, sometimes feel numb
hidden inside, too much, i must succumb
doesn’t feel real, don’t know how to feel
until i break down, i feel below the ground..
chorus:
where is the light of day
can’t find my way
there’s gotta be a way
i just wanna stay
—bones depleted stomach empty
my throat is dry, i’ve had plenty
i could float down off this building
the sun is pale, my life is wilting
—my feet are broken it’s all their fault
every step i take is another assault
the world is cracked and warped through my eyes
a vision of doubt, nothing’s true through these eyes
chorus:
where is the light of day
can’t find my way
there’s gotta be a way
i just wanna stay
—i can’t stop shaking
don’t know if i can, no more faking
sun’s too bright, i am blinded
don’t wanna fight, call me misguided
—the world is too harsh, i am frightened
hold me close, i feel your silence
don’t let me go, i’m afraid I’ll die here
don’t wanna fight, but i won’t die here
chorus:
where is the light of day
can’t find my way
there’s gotta be a way
i just wanna stay
“bridge”/coda/end
step a little closer
feel the wind lift my hair free
step a little closer
feel my balance roam free
