Misinterpreting Constellations

(album: The Romance Of Affliction - 2021)

All our failures are stars, all precious and always known
You'll still try to stomp out the brightest, but something's gotta give
All the guilt inside us, every touch and every kiss
I'm still singing your praise in the end
I'm still singing your praise in the end

Silence every wishful longing for the past and possibilities left in my heart

Live with your sacrifice, now that it's over
Bury me in your head and tear me apart while your heart pulls the strings
A poem that never ends, words that keep bleeding, voices that reprimand
I'll take all your pain just to make you feel safe

Well we were trudging through misery with our sense of romance
So we'll bury our pain, so please just kiss me
This concept of innocence, please just save me again
This concept of innocence, will you burn it all?

Separate, sever the ties
Keep searching for our empathy
Separate, sever the ties
So I see the stars in your eyes
I see the stars in your eyes
I see the stars in your... eyes

It just hurts to
Relive everything
Lips locked then lost to time

Poem that never ends, words that keep bleeding, voices that reprimand
I'll take all your pain just to make you feel safe

Please don't close your eyes
The sky shines with regrets and harmony
Left with words unsaid

All our failures are stars, all precious and always known
I'm still singing your praise in the end
I'm still singing your praise in the end

I'm still singing your praise in the end
