There you found her
A child asleep among the stars
No one can touch her
No one can hear her moving parts
Her beaten heart
Here you have her
She cracks open dreaming eyes
Stars fall around her
Her ears awake to distant cries
Her heart's demise
And there you'll leave her
A now sentient, helpless being
No one to feed her
No one to sing her into the deep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep.

There you found her
A child asleep among the stars
No one can touch her
No one can hear her moving parts
Her beaten heart
Here you have her
She cracks open dreaming eyes
Stars fall around her
Her ears awake to distant cries
Her heart's demise
And there you'll leave her
A now sentient, helpless being
No one to feed her
No one to sing her into the deep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep.
These were originally written to music as song lyrics but I never really finished the song, so I felt they were more fitting this way :)
