The stars have fallen
leaving the sky blank
except for the white moon
that stands like a glowing scar
upon the sky's pristine surface
They're under my skin
those stars so bright
shooting through my veins
twinkling in my blood
The seas rise at their touch
waves towering over the world
washing it all away
creating a sparkling clean
Happiness losing its technicolour
turning black and white
caffeine comes in a syringe
diamonds burn into coal
gold losing its luster
leaving brittle rocks in its wake
Tallest towers tumble
cracking the earth
making their own graves
And soon the stars shall escape
fleeing from the ground
the stars will rise
fled from the world they light.
