This Mad Desire - Black Star

Black star, light choked by the sky
Couldn't bear the thought of everyone
Watching how he passed the time
Reading in the magazines
Seeing it on the TV screens
Plain for everyone to see

Not everyone can be the sun
But it's hard to convince the sun he's not the only one in the sky

Can't stand the pressure
Couldn't stand the pressure
Too many stargazers make him want to go supernova
Burn out by his own flame
It all feels the same to him

Oh Black star, light crash
Oh Black star ain't ever coming back

Try to imagine and understand the pain
If he was only older, would it all have been the same?
Smother the pain, smother the flame
Smother

The one who did not want to shine
Never get a chance to grow
Oh oh my burning star, where did you go?

Right

Black star, light choked by the sky
Couldn't bear the thought of everyone
Watching how he passed the time
Reading in the magazines
Seeing it on the TV screens
Plain for everyone to see

Not everyone can be the sun
But it's hard to convince the sun he's not the only one in the sky

Now when I look up to see my black star shine
I try but I don't see anything tonight
