Crown of Stars

all of the ashes around but still
you shine like the brightest star in the sky
i don’t understand
i probably never will
maybe it’s better that way
but i can’t keep my mouth shut
my face is frozen like this
a lump in my throat & a stone in my shoe
the world burning down around us but still
you shine like the brightest star in the sky
keeping me overflowing with
melted gold
the finest blood
my tears can never erase
