Artificial Stars

from DEAD OUT by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

Wish on artificial stars
Over California cities
Dance around a shallow heart
Full of vanity & pity
Congratulations taste like dust
For the rival who succeeds
Say you're happy through your teeth
Does it make you want to scream

Goodness might as well be blind
When you paint a pretty picture
Forgiveness doesn't mind
When a promise leads to failure
Evil only smiles
When you surrender what you love
When he's laughing in your face
Do you ever cry for us

I'll be as honest & true as I can
Who could be as in love with you as I am
I try to put this fire dead out again & again & again

We're just tiny sparks
In blue nights & barbed wire
Feel our way around the dark
For something that's familiar
Only when we lose ourselves
Is when we find we're free
We're here & gone forever
So take me in my sleep

Take me in my sleep
