lyrics

Dark star
We’re back to back and poles apart
The silent vacuum in your heart
Will get no part of me.
Dark star
How cold you are
Without the light of love around you
How lonely it must be.

If you can’t be the centre of the universe
Then you will draw us inside you
And you won’t heed the cries of all the souls you threaten to engulf
We’re all just reflections of you.

Dark star
How did you come to be so far
Removed from us and all our cosmic
Connectivity.
Dark star
How old it seems you are
But in all you do and all you say, boy,
You’re just a child to me.

Because if you can’t be the centre of the universe
Then you will draw us inside you
And you won’t heed the cries of all the souls you threaten to engulf
We’re all just reflections of you.

Mm.

Dark star
Can it really be so hard
To turn and face the light that’s found you
And lose some gravity.
Dark star
Look me in the eye and tell me
You don’t ever need to take
Responsibility.

Like some small god who learns whole worlds still turn without him
You stoop to invent a tragedy
And as you sulk, everybody’s eyes are opened and they sing:
YOU’LL NEVER GET NO PART OF ME.

Dark star.
You’ll never get no part –
You’ll never get no part -
You’ll never get no part of me.

You collapse inside yourself. You collapse inside yourself. You collapse inside yourself. Dark star.
