Stars

Whenever you feel you leave yourself open
Cold temptures, soothing over your heart
Told myself not to worry,.. tch right
When the sun drops down i'm alone

The stars fade out from my eyes
Blood runs,.. dry
Convictions have no place for me now
The stars drop from sight
Blood runs,... dry

Lingering emotions from footsteps left
Warmth from the pain runs cool
Drying in the tears that have gripped this man
Holding out the hand that once was held before
Counting backwards only to find time is long

The stars fade in and out from my eyes
Blood runs,.. dry
Perceptions long since shattered
Stars burn out and fade away
Blood runs,.. runs
I don't know where I'm going,
I don't know what I need,
But I'll get to where I'm gonna end up,
And that's alright by me.
I've been running from side to side
Now I know for sure, that both sides lied
It's got so hard, but we gotta keep trying
I can't stand to see my people crying

    you are loved
    this, do not forget
    it's all there is
    don't ruin it for yourself by
    denying it's direction

    This one is well written and hauntingly sad.
