lyrics

Counting the streetlamps, surrogate stars
Shatter of glass, supernova right above my head
Rivers of white and red, flowing down the mountainside
Glowing with the flashing lights of mercury and lead

I can’t shake it
The afterimage in my eyes
Brighter than the bruised and sullen sky
I can’t shake it
Paint over the clouds with tar
In a world made of light, there’s no such thing as stars

Constellations at the tops of skyscrapers
The advertisements, the new Orion, our new heroes
Prometheus and Edison brought down the light
Beat back the darkness, a neon Bethlehem

I can’t shake it
The afterimage in my eyes
Brighter than the bruised and sullen sky
I can’t shake it
Paint over the clouds with tar
In a world made of light, there’s no such thing as stars

The sun never sets on the floodlighted Earth
Dim as fireflies against the light of man
Eternal light, eternal life
All the world’s an Arctic day
The Northern lights will never go away

I can’t shake it
The afterimage in my eyes
Brighter than the bruised and sullen sky
I can’t shake it
Paint over the clouds with tar
In a world made of light, there’s no such thing as stars
