I thought I was following a star
But it was just a dying light
Now I'm drifting in the dark
Half-awake
Half-out of sight
Static prayers on my cracked screen
Your name burned into the glass
I keep tracing every scene
Like I could edit out the past
Dying light
You still haunt my eyes
Fading slow
But you never say goodbye
I keep reaching through the night for you
For a spark that was never true
Dying light
You were all I knew
I was lost
But I called it you
Every promise was a flare
Bright and brutal
Gone too soon
Left the smoke rings in the air
Hanging heavier than the moon
Now my shadows talk me down
Telling me to cut the cord
But I orbit empty crowns
Like a ghost of what I swore
Dying light
You still haunt my eyes
Fading slow
But you never say goodbye
I keep reaching through the night for you
For a spark that was never true
Dying light
You were all I knew
I was lost
But I called it you
Maybe I was my own eclipse (oh)
Covering the sun I had
Held my hope with bitten lips
Called the ache a kind of glad
Dying light
You still haunt my eyes
Fading slow
But you never say goodbye
I keep reaching through the night for you
For a spark that was never true
Dying light
You were all I knew
I was lost
But I called it you
