Too young to know I'd be another victim Too wise to know this was a lie Too sad to hear the cries of manipulation Too broken to rebuild In this city where everyone is wild In this city where flowers burn like bodies in the fire The colors that were on my face Went far away just like my love A midnight star came to tell me Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for But it was late, it was dark and gray What I should have done has already been done by someone else And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault The midnight star has lost its shine And I went back to where I never should have left To the dark, to the madness of my mind Too dark to see the light at the end of the tunnel Too guilty to feel any empathy Too gray to match any color Too painful to feel anything In this city that doesn't accept strangers In this city that took away everything I loved I saw the deaths pass before my eyes It was like watching your soul being taken A midnight star came to tell me Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for But it was late, it was dark and gray What I should have done has already been done by someone else And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault The midnight star has lost its shine And I went back to where I never should have left To the dark, to the madness of my mind The last breath before being taken The last word before letting your soul go Like a fear that consumes you inside Like what you are repulsed by The last second of your fucked up life The last star in the sky A midnight star came to tell me Came to tell me that I am the soul they were looking for But it was late, it was dark and gray What I should have done has already been done by someone else And that the emptiness I feel now was entirely my fault The midnight star has lost its shine And I went back to where I never should have left To the dark, to the madness of my mind
