You promised my scarred hands some stars
You promised the empty hole a heart
You promised a day to my endless nights
You promised my darkness, some light
I woke up yesterday, middle of the night
Saw the skies were empty
No stars no moon
Then I met myself in the mirror, surprised
The stars were hanging from my eyes
The moon shone in place of a heart
And I saw the sun come up with a dawn
I searched for you
Then whispered the grey skies
I'm here, my love
To give you light, I had to become the black night
And so I saw him fade away
And never have I seen him yet, again.
