Verse 1
Starlight, star bright, the first cut tonight.
Lying still with open eyes, no dreams in sight.
Streetlamp bleeding through the cracked glass pane,
Another night alone with my thoughts unchained.
Chorus
Starlight, star bright, what did I wish?
To be someone else, or not exist?
Your glow feels cold, but I hold on tight,
You’re the only one left in this endless night.
Verse 2
I trace constellations on my ceiling’s dust,
Looking for signs in things I can’t trust.
I said I was fine, smiled through my teeth,
But my wishes are buried in silence beneath.
Chorus
Starlight, star bright, what did I wish?
A voice that answers, or a moment I missed?
You hang in the sky like a thread too thin,
But I follow your light through the dark within.
Bridge
You don’t blink, you don’t break
You just burn above my ache.
If I vanish before the dawn’s cruel light,
Will you still remember my name tonight?
Verse 3
The first star fades as the city wakes,
And I’m still here, no grand escapes.
Just me and the echoes I didn’t outrun,
Another breath taken, another war won.
Chorus (Final)
Starlight, star bright, don’t make it right
Just watch me survive this fractured fight.
You’re cold and distant, but I still believe,
You’re proof that broken things still breathe.
Outro
So shine on me from your hollow throne,
In this quiet room where I sit alone.
Starlight, star bright, my nightly prayer,
That I’ll still be here, stripped but aware.
