Just imagine the stars

How bright they must be tonight
magnified be the teardrops
brought forth by all our pain

It's amazing how cruel life can be
how heavy her hand can feel

All we want to do is smile
but yet the teardrops fall like rain

There is no time for holding these days
nor a second for a simple kiss
just the time to stare at the moon
while crying out in vain

All we need is each other
to make it all go away
like an emotional drug
that takes away the pain

It's just so hard to keep an open heart
when the world is out to harm you

But without your gentle words
it's a struggle to stay sane

So as I roam the darkness

I'll be calling out your name

Haunting all of our demons
until they've all be slain
