Cities killed starlight
They pushed her till she couldn't breathe
From a great distance
The world was a blank grave
But please don't forget the ones
Who tried to see
Everything celestial from the ground
There are surely killers
But someone still believes
I know the damage in being alone
And I swear I'll die before I go back there
And for what it's worth I believe
There's someone down there
Who can bring starlight... home
Now for once the world's illuminated
Not a street was dark or faded but
On the ground was a different song
Generated power and electric starlight
I don't mind burying everything I've known
And loved
