Veins Of Ash — The Stars (Official Visual Video)

— THE STARS LYRICS — There's something in the dark ahead. It's been there a while. I've been trying not to listen. I need to make you cold Not because I want to lose you I've already lost you Because something out there is learning your warmth And I can feel it borrowing the frequency of what you were It speaks in the register of 3am It speaks in the register of April It speaks in the register of the lighthouse And the colour coming back And the door that looks like home And I know those registers belong to you But I can hear them coming from the wrong direction If I can make the warmth cold The voice loses its instrument If I can drown the stars you put inside me The thing ahead has nothing left to borrow If I can just make you quiet enough The stars won't go dark tonight Something in the distance is wearing your light The stars won't go quiet before it learns your name Before I follow something hollow Thinking it's your flame The stars are still burning Make the warmth go cold I can't tell you from the garden Anymore I can feel it now Something patient Something that holds space exactly the right size For everything I need to pour into it Something that sounds like rest Like colour Like growing It doesn't have your face But it has your temperature And I'm so cold And I've been so cold since the water And the thing ahead is warm In exactly the way you were warm before I made you grey And I know that's not you I know But knowing doesn't change What the cold does to a body that remembers what warmth felt like And the voice knows that Whatever is ahead in the dark It knows exactly how long I've been cold The stars are in all of them Something is calling in the frequency of home The stars are inside me still Before I walk toward something that learned what I was told The stars won't let me go I can't tell her from the garden And I don't know if I will It sounds like you I need you to know that Whatever is ahead it sounds like you The warmth The specific frequency of the lighthouse The colour coming back It sounds like the morning I swam toward you Because you were the first warm thing in all that grey AND I WANT TO FOLLOW IT I WANT TO WALK TOWARD THE WARMTH AND NOT ASK WHAT IT IS I WANT TO STOP BEING COLD I WANT TO STOP STANDING IN THE DARK BETWEEN THE WATER AND THE GATE I AM SO TIRED OF BEING COLD I AM SO TIRED OF THE GREY AND THE VOICE AHEAD SOUNDS LIKE APRIL SOUNDS LIKE HOME SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING I DROWNED AND THE VOICE IS STILL THERE AND IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE HER AND I AM STILL COLD AND THE COLD IS STILL WINNING I KNOW WHAT IT IS AND IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE APRIL AND I AM STILL STANDING HERE AND THE GATE IS RIGHT THERE AND I AM SO TIRED AND I AM SO COLD AND I CAN'T MAKE IT STOP AND I CAN'T MAKE THE STARS GO DARK AND I CAN'T MAKE THE WARMTH GO COLDAND I CAN'T STOP HEARING HER IN EVERYTHING IT SAYS I can't drown the stars I know that They're inside me Where you left them When you were warm and I was the undertow And neither of us knew yet how it ended I can't make you cold And whatever is ahead knows that It's been waiting for me to run out of ways to stay still It knows I'm tired It knows the cold It knows exactly which frequency to speak in And it's getting closer The stars won't go dark I can't make them They won't go cold She's in all of them The stars are still burning I can't stop them The voice knows her name And it's calling mine The stars I can't It sounds like April And I'm still standing here Not moving Not yet © VOA / Veins of Ash.
