[Verse]
             
There's a sky 

              
full of lights

              
, and none of 

    
them stars
              
But each white

            
, silvery flic

             
ker's, a faith

             
ful reminder t

   
o us
             
Of a weight th

              
at's in youth,

              
 that makes a 

            
dick of us all
            
If it happened

              
 today, then i

             
t's probably h

          
appened before

             
In a crowd unf

              
amiliar, I jus

              
t wanna touch 

      
a familiar fac

e
            
And make frien

              
ds at the part

             
ies I've feare

             
d, the likes o

      
f an age
             
To be wanted w

              
ith truth, and

              
 make formidab

    
le love

now

[Verse]
             
It's not a lac

              
king of spine,

              
 nor of physic

     
al pulse
             
It's just a fe

             
eling of dista

             
nce, akin to a

             
 feeling of lo


ss
             
Of love in the

              
 youth, of my 

         
limited life
            
That passed in

              
 a violent, an

            
d ritual screw

And I am griev

When there's w

Just stand in

[Verse]
             
There's a warm

And the lines

dingly brave
              
I'm more just

 for the bulk
