Brittle Star

Far across the endless sky
Is a soul with whom my diffidence lies
Pining a lost sense of reality
The brittle star is soothing me

You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth

Walking through this long valley
I reach out to the sun
It burns my fingertips
Down to my palms so rough
You hold out an amethyst
And I feel the overwhelming love

You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth

Show me something real
Something I can feel

You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth
