PAINT THE STARS

PAINT THE STARS

Redemption roams a lonely road
Many miles left to go
The past a violent undertow
Dragging me down below

Confessions can’t absolve the dread
Of the sins left unsaid
The voice of judgment in my head
Could awaken the dead

CHORUS
Cast this noose ‘round my sorrows
Paint the stars with my tears
Return days I had to borrow
Before my time, my time draws near

Salvation costs a crown of thorns
Few have dared to be worn
The serpent sheds to be reborn
With the skin never mourned

Silence won’t ever hold the tide
Of the words left untried
The weight of carrying my pride
Nearly broke me inside

BRIDGE
Oh, steady this shaking hand
And draw a line in the sand
Throw flowers into the abyss
And bid it farewell with a kiss

CHORUS
