Dim Star Shines
Dim Star Shines (11:02)
(M. Lane, D. Van Ry)
Stillness
Echoes out before me
Reaches into nothing
Until I cannot see
Darkness
Silences the voices
Shouting in my head
Until I cannot hear
Anything
You want from me
Empty
Out of motivation
Powerless to move
Until I am stuck here
Unable
To see beyond the dark
See anything at all
I am imprisoned here
Anything
You need from me
See now I belong here
Be my own belief
Beams through the shadows
To be anything
Moonlight
Dimly lit oppression
Quiet under cover
Scared to be aware
Daybreak
Rouse anticipation
Suddenly awaken
The spark from underneath
Somewhere
Emerging
See now I belong here
Be my own belief
Beams through the shadows
To be anything
When the dim star shines
It lights the way ahead
When the dim star shines
It leaves the past for dead
When the dim star shines
It lights the way ahead
When the dim star shines
It leaves the past for dead
Sunrise
Silence in absentia
No longer breathe dementia
Flailing out of reach
Shining
Illuminate the weary
I can now see clearly
From dwarf to titanic
Right where
I want to be
See now I belong here
Be my own belief
Beams through the shadows
To be anything
When the dim star shines
It lights the way ahead
When the dim star shines
It leaves the past for dead
When the dim star shines
It lights the way ahead
When the dim star shines
It frees what must be said
