Songs from the heart

dead for a thousand years

Chorus1:

Dead for a thousand years
Just like starlight
A million burnt out spheres
So fucking bright
They deceived you
Yeah they left you
All alone for so damn long

Verse1:

You thought you could count on no soul
So you counted on you
This old violated hull
Has carried you through

Cause this is what you still have
When you have nothing
So when this is a liability
Do you keep on believing

Chorus2:

In dead for a thousand years
Treacherous stars
like shining smiles
That cover your scars
They deceived you
Yeah they left you
Thinking you had all you need to

Verse2:

Hold on to your facade
And play your part
Dance in your masquerade
fake a beating heart

No wonder you feel betrayed
By a flawless plan
The cancer spreads to the pretend
Now can you even run?

Chorus3:

Dead for a thousand years
Your hopes for change
For something new
Out of the dark age
You were born in
You were raised in
All alone for so damn long

Bridge:

No, you never
Dreamt of somehow breaking out
You just prayed
To God they'd never find out
It always worked out
Till the mask broke down
Till the fallout
Till you dropped your counterfeit crown

Dead for years
Your con artist tears
Of happiness, your safe little nest
They shined so bright
You thought them alive
You believed in your lies

Chorus4:

Dead for a thousand years
The walls you built
They tore them down
Now you have to believe
They won't leave you
Or deceive you
Even though they've seen the real you

Chorus5:

Dead for a thousand years
Just like starlight
A million burnt out spheres
So fucking bright
So beautiful
Could their light reach your soul?
You've been alone for too damn long
