“Mark of the Dark Star”

Girl, I gave you my best

But, don’t hold your breath

Cause I’m calling myself insane

When I know you’re to blame

Tonight maybe I’ll be free

But who could ever love me

I can’t seem to keep it together even when I’m alone, singin’ in my car

Somewhere along the way I think I broke in two and now I have the mark of the dark star

You’re inside of my head and I see your face every time I close my eyes

I’m reminded by this cold bed every time I hear your echoing lies

For better and for worse

Carry me away in a hearse

I guess this is my curse

I'll use these blankets as cover

As I sleep without a lover

Because this pillow will lie

Right next to me as I deny

Everything that commits me

Please just let me go

I’m down on my knees

Oh, please release me

Oh, I’m begging you

I can’t seem to keep it together even when I’m alone, singin’ in my car

Somewhere along the way I think I broke in two and now I have the mark of the dark star

I guess when everything looks bleak and I’m up in the air at least I can breathe again

When trauma settles in and kicks its feet up I tremble as the sorrow grows within

I bet you don’t even look back and remember how it felt to walk hand in hand with me

I can’t imagine you even wondering how I’m holding up after this catastrophe

Now there’s no point in drying these eyes as I scream

Please just let me go!

I’m down on my knees again!

My firsts raised to the skies, just please end this dream

Oh, please release me!

God, I’m begging you!
