Trust Me, You're Alive (An Original Song Collection)

6. Shattered Moons and Exploding Stars

Shattered Moons and Exploding Stars by In Plain Sight

Everyone's terrified of the monster under their bed

but mine is scared of me instead

And when I'm alone every word that I speak

Every step I take

Every laugh I have

Is turned to glass

CHORUS
And I saw the moon shatter the sky and the stars fall to dust

Please don't pretend that anything I  do is just

I'm a criminal in disguise

A killer with a blade to have some fun 

But I don't use it to hurt anyone

I only use it on a nonexistent someone
-

Screams like lighting bolt

And tears as hot as the sun

I'm not myself when I'm alone

Without anyone to acknowledge my existence, I'm not there

I'd rather be gone

Anywhere but here

I didn't choose to live so far from the stars

To be planted solid on dead soil

I wanted to fly

Make myself a life

But now my future lies in the hands of a dull kitchen knife

CHORUS
And I saw the moon shatter the sky and the stars fall to dust

Please don't pretend that anything I  do is just

I'm a criminal in disguise

A killer with a blade to have some fun 

But I don't use it to hurt anyone

I only use it on a nonexistent someone
-

I'm fading and disappearing

Was I ever really here?

Or am I just there to ease your tears

My life hasn't been lived

I don't have anything else to give

INSTRUMENTAL

The ashes of stars fall into my open hands as the night is plunged into nothing

There's no meaning

At least that's what I'm seeing
