PEARL OF THE STARS




Each night, I wish to God he'd let her rest.
Oh, this hurts me more than any man can bear.
She's my angel from the west.
There will never be one to take her place.

When you go, I will know.
Follow you to the stars.
And when the world burns apart,
There will be a place for your car.

I'd give you everything,
If only I'd have known you'd take it.
But you don't, 'cause you're you.
That's why I'll always love you.
My pearl of the stars.

Oh, the pills she takes, the pain of which she drowns.
A baby sleeps next door, she's new in town.
I'll tell her how wonderful you were.
I'll remember everything you were to me.

When you go, I will know.
Follow you to the stars.
And when the world burns apart,
There will be a place for your car.

I'd give you everything,
If only I'd have known you'd take it.
But you don't, 'cause you're you.
That's why I'll always love you.
My pearl of the stars.

THIS SHATTERED SYMPHONY



Oh, I'm giving up the one I love
I'll conduct the great disaster
to scar my skin to own this hurt

They offered their hearts
and we tore them apart,
They offered their blood
and we left them so parched
I don't know if I can give you anything you want.

Go on and give me the gun!
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice,
oh, they left me no choice,

Go on and give me the gun!
Let me blow them open
It's out of my reach,
never mind what they think about me

I don't want to say that with mercy we decay
Converging closer and faster,
does all I touch turn to dust?

And she confessed her love,
only I shut her up
as I took all her words,
and allowed them to rust
I don't know if I'm the man you truly want to love

Go on and give me the gun!
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice,
oh, they left me no choice,

Go on and give me the gun!
Let me blow them open
It's out of my reach,
never mind what they think about me

Little have they learned anything about me
Meddling eyes that judge mistakes
What awful things they say when backs are turned
and no one's looking.

Go on and give me the gun!
Never mind what I've done
They left me no choice,
oh, they left me no choice,

Go on and give me the gun!
Let me blow them open
it's out of my reach,
nevermind what they think about me
in this shattered symphony.
In this shattered symphony.
