lyrics

I’ve heard of bodies of heat and of light,
Glorious beacons that taunt the blind.
I’ve heard the call of celestial minds,
The cruel bells that leave me thirsty.
I’ve heard the energy gives the earth life,
Pulling trees from the ground up into the sky.
I’ve heard of miracles hiding,
At the edge of my perception.

Despite the evidence,
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
The constellations speak, but
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
Opaque scales cloud my eyes,
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
My heart aches to entrust, but
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.

I’ve felt the warmth of a star in the sky,
The push of the air as a sparrow takes flight.
I’ve felt the grass beneath my feet,
Robust and strong as the greatest of trees.
I’ve felt the chill of a cloudless night,
The constellations beyond my sight,
I’ve felt a fire that keeps me alive,
But the absence is causing my belly to writhe.

Despite the evidence,
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
The constellations speak, but
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
Opaque scales cloud my eyes,
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.
My heart aches to entrust, but
I can’t see the stars, I can’t see the stars.

Do not embarrass me,
Break down the last barrier.
I can’t be seen to fail,
I need proof of concept.
My patience wears thin,
Break down the last barrier.
Heed my last demand,
I need proof of concept.

Prove it to me.
