Descent

Sky clean as glass
Night draws near
Here comes the ball of gas
Shining bright and clear
Yet above it feels so confining
Dying star keep shining

There is no meaning
To stay alive and lit
Why do I keep seeking
When there is no real fit
I feel the need to begin dying
Dying star keep shining

I can’t give light
As my strength goes
I give into sadness’ blight
And discover all my woes
The glow starts falling
Dying star keep shining

My body is all that’s left
Those around me scream
But I can’t help but be deaf
To those who dream
My life is ending
Dying star keep shining

This is meant to be
For all those who grow
To run and to flee
From their own show
Yet here I can’t stop smiling
Dying star keep shining

I continue this descent
Into darkness and pain
Am I ready for this torment?
I have nothing left to gain
But I can’t stop dreaming
Dying star keep shining

I see the stars around
They fall as one together
Here they come to surround
They are warm and soft as feather
I am almost done falling
Dying star keep shining

We begin the last couple miles
Till the surface and us collides
Those around me continue their smiles
Ready to be my guides
I die but keep believing
Dying star keep living
