Ravine Angel - The Star (feat. Goodnight Girl) Lyrics

You do it because you're desperate
Your body can barely take it
We break until we're broken
I'm dying, I'm waiting on you

Keep yourself indoors
Fight it off if you have to
Hide beneath the floorboards
Shut it out, knock it down

Ripping it off like a bandaid
Bruises and broken skin
Take it in, stare it down
It's something to feel good about

You can't even say it, to the
Streets, without breaking
I'm tired of watching you
Get so estranged

Your misery has made you mean
In another week you'll split your seams
At the point where vicarious fantasy
Becomes real
You won't feel it

So encase yourself in plastic
Entomb yourself in wiring
Until it feels like you've earned the right to live
Enmesh yourself in roleplay
Let yourself fall away
Give it more than you have to give

You do it because there's nothing
Else to do in the city
That doesn't involve the people you can't even look in the eyes anymore

You look for a sanctuary
But those you find all seem too risky
Their structures seem tenuous
All of their frameworks end up laid bare before

The gaze of an anhedonic
You just see yourself beyond it
Every new place just an air of mistakes
To avoid that you've made before

And I don't know how to take it
Each time I thought you were breaking
You work it out,
But it's so hard to be certain now

So please just come out with me
To the little place on the well-lit street
Where we used to go to sit and eat
Underneath
The ice sheet

Taking the risk of caring
Of being overbearing
Until the proof crystallizes into doubt
Before you know it, the moment
You always denied you wanted
Is coming and I hope you won't let it down

Drowning in starlight
Rendered ecstatic
By overwhelming inspiration
No two moments
Same as the others
Did you think
You'd just go back and feel that way again?
I hope you like it
If I told you I'm psychic
Would you really know me?
Would you really know me?
Be there forever
Encased in amber
On walks in the summer
Dreaming made up lover
