Hanging high over your head Foreign lights burn red Your face feels numb Shoot it in slow; feel it take hold Forgotten by those who matter the most You know the streets — you are you're own host Wishing on stars that burned out long ago In the garden of night you muster All of the friends you have are strangers Trying to cover the spots, the blisters Doing everything to not remember Will you find your family? Do you even care now? 'Cause you have stories that some won't believe But you can't overlook these memories Assimilate with those craving a home Because when moon takes the sun, you're cursed to roam And wish on stars that burned out long ago

Gardens of the Night
Hanging high over your head Foreign lights burn red Your face feels numb Shoot it in slow; feel it take hold Forgotten by those who matter the most You know the streets — you are you're own host Wishing on stars that burned out long ago In the garden of night you muster All of the friends you have are strangers Trying to cover the spots, the blisters Doing everything to not remember Will you find your family? Do you even care now? 'Cause you have stories that some won't believe But you can't overlook these memories Assimilate with those craving a home Because when moon takes the sun, you're cursed to roam And wish on stars that burned out long ago
