“Darling, what do you wish upon a shooting star?”
“Darling, I need not wish anymore, for you were the dream cast from the night sky that swept me off my feet and carried me afar.”

Dead Hearts
Dead Heart by Stars
“Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights inside their eyes
They had lights inside their eyes
Did you see the closing window?
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward, my heart died
They moved forward, my heart died
Please, please tell me what they look like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
[Chorus]
I could say it, but you won’t believe me
You say you do, but you don’t deceive me
It’s hard to know they’re out there
It’s hard to know that you still care
I could say it but you wont believe me
You say you do but you don’t deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere
Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I’m falling down
They make me feel I’m falling down
Was there one you saw too clearly?
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
[Chorus x2]
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they’re all dead hearts to you
Now they’re all dead hearts to you
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they’re all dead hearts to you”
Now my heart is dead for you
Years and Years
This is where I said
I wanted to be when I grow up.
I’ll sit down and cry and I’ll
never leave when I must leave.
The place was as stake but
it felt like home and
it was all I ever
wanted to be.
The beasts of time has pounded
howled, shrieked and yelled.
Get out, it said
Get out and never come back.
Get out because we don’t want you
Get out because I am scared
of your power to
overthrow me.
The day I will leave,
I will carry a sling bag packed with
all the childish things that I brought
the first time I came.
I will leave, the way I came.
Ceremoniously
“Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night because tomorrow morning I’ll pack my bags and left where I came from.”
“Darling, don’t forget I love you but our time is up.”
“Darling, I’ll always cherish the smile on your face – it is a memory of masterpiece hung up my wall.”
“Darling, don’t forget that when I leave, the blood-tied heart twines will form a banner ceremoniously celebrating the presence of remembrance.”
Tell Me What They Looked Like
You were once strong, or at least how you appeared to be. Tough, or maybe that’s how you wanted to seem.
So tell me, what happened? Tell me, why did you turn to this?
Did you see the demons walk to your bed, did you see the Angels surrender?
Please, tell me what they looked like, tell me what they did to you.
I can see shreds of you lying all over.

War
Tell me,
What did you hear?
You seem so lost
in fear.
Listen to me,
Your hands are so cold
and dotted with sweat like
beads of gold.
Tick, tock
It’s the sound of time
rushing by without saying
goodbye.
Pitter, patter
The sound of raindrops
clutter your heart up
in a fog.
Is it the truth that never came
a distant goal a yard away?
Is it a lie that lay its path
Your dreams a nightmare broke in half?
Tell me,
What did you hear?
I heard it all, I wish I heard it none;
The brushing of blades, the clattering of spears.
I heard the footsteps of war drawing near.
