stories of life, love, and everything else

Yellow Star

This heart beating down to surrender

The world taking me apart

Piece by piece by piece

Turning’ my head around

And laughing down my neck

Now this birth, it hurts

Now this birth, it hurts

The jets with all the people

Flying high above

His sky feeling so empty

His sky feeling so alone

Laughing’ in the mirror

The underworld torn asunder

His veins, his veins, his veins

Leave a stain like opposite of heaven

And the truth comes to light

He isn’t worth the fight or flight

Backburner baby boy

Left to boil over

Like a street fight under lights

The fireflies alight

Like sparkles in his eyes

The girl doll on the ocean

Forever waving goodbye.
