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
