Midnight Star

Too young to know I'd be another victim
Too wise to know this was a lie
Too sad to hear the cries of manipulation
Too broken to rebuild

In this city where everyone is wild
In this city where flowers burn like bodies in the fire
The colors that were on my face
Went far away just like my love

A midnight star came to tell me
Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for
But it was late, it was dark and gray
What I should have done has already been done by someone else
And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault
The midnight star has lost its shine
And I went back to where I never should have left
To the dark, to the madness of my mind

Too dark to see the light at the end of the tunnel
Too guilty to feel any empathy
Too gray to match any color
Too painful to feel anything

In this city that doesn't accept strangers
In this city that took away everything I loved
I saw the deaths pass before my eyes
It was like watching your soul being taken

A midnight star came to tell me
Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for
But it was late, it was dark and gray
What I should have done has already been done by someone else
And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault
The midnight star has lost its shine
And I went back to where I never should have left
To the dark, to the madness of my mind

The last breath before being taken
The last word before letting your soul go
Like a fear that consumes you inside
Like what you are repulsed by
The last second of your fucked up life
The last star in the sky

A midnight star came to tell me
Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for
But it was late, it was dark and gray
What I should have done has already been done by someone else
And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault
The midnight star has lost its shine
And I went back to where I never should have left
To the dark, to the madness of my mind
