They say he who swallowed a falling star Oh, heartless man your heart is ours And I hate to be the bearer of bad news But your star is fading out It's time to cut it loose I'm lying face down in the sand As a bed of beach is slipping through my hands And on a lonely shoreline the clocks are ticking To catch me in my consciousness We're on a howling castle marching to the myth I'm retracing the fantasy so I can fit in Forget the details and demand I recall Every single letter that slips under the door Cus every minor moment we want to give in evermore And now we are stuck Between the stars and the antimatter It's all unfamiliar ground As I chase the aurora down Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear Heads in the clouds Where constellations can sing out loud Like a symphony of colours in the night So I chased the aurora down And now I've seen it all I feel the grass give way under my feet, revealing a flower-bed of grey They say he who swallowed a falling star Oh, heartless man your heart is ours And I hate to be the bearer of bad news But your star is fading out It's time to cut it loose They say he who swallowed a falling star Oh, heartless man your heart's already ours Oh how the scarecrows scatter Underneath their weathered, wooden skin So find me and fix me, marionette me, walk me to the edge Cus every time you walk by I feel your warmth and cold in dissonance Now the rain floods in, brought by the wind And I can't escape it Now our hearts, they guide the way I'll find the northern lights one day As I chase the aurora down Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear Heads in the clouds Where constellations can sing out loud Like a symphony of colours in the night So I chased the aurora down And now I've seen it all
