about

Written for a friend of mine who unfortunately lost his week-old baby to SIDS.

lyrics

Far too long and far too sore, from taking less and giving more
'Twas all too cold, as cold as frost, the signs were small, then signs were lost.
Stamped the fire out and took, one last breath, and one last look
Silence does as silence will, the sky is thick, and silent still...

Believing isn't any good
Believing isn't as it should
Wasn't here, or must have been
Or maybe just inside that dream
And madness is another word
For taking all you've seen and heard
And cramming it in your minds cleft
So what to do when nothings left?



you TAKE YOUR PICK OF STARS, CAREFUL WHICH YOU CHOOSE
THEY MAY REVEAL YOUR ANSWERS, STILL IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'LL SOOTHE
TAKE YOUR PICK OF STARS, BUT ONLY ONE OR TWO
I CAN POINT THE SKY'S DIRECTION, BUT THE REST IS UP TO YOU

hold the skin to open breast, tiny heart with zero rest
hard to end, and to begin, worse to spare, or let it in
the blood will ease, but never stop, and fragments of the time will drop
and everything is different, sure, but less is less, nor any more.


TAKE YOUR PICK OF STARS, ANY ONES WILL DO
THEY FIGHT THE MOON FOR LIGHT A LOT, AND RARELY THEY ENDUE
TAKE YOUR PICK OF STARS, no matter big or small
Some stay up forever, yes, but some will have to fall.
