Stars of Glass

from hope​/​less by Chris Roth

/

about

This song started out with experiments with glassy pads. Inspiration struck and I started layering melodies on the guitars, then vocals. The song deals with the need to set boundaries towards people who otherwise harness your energy and compassion.

lyrics

[V1]

Last night
I lay awake
and counted
my firmament

I felt your thoughts
on my skin
and I was colder
than I’ve ever been

[C]

I see you lost
your light within
but these are mine,
you can’t take them

I can’t give you
what you seek
for these are mine,
my stars of glass

[V2]

I held my breath
eyes shut
and counted
to thirteen

I felt your judgement
under my skin
so I tore it out
and counted again

[B]

Understand
that I need space
just like the stars
I can’t exist
in your embrace
just like the stars

Understand
that I need air
just like the stars
and you are stifling,
stifling me
so set me free

[C]

I see you lost
your light within
but these are mine,
you can’t take them

I can’t give you
what you seek
for these are mine,
my stars of glass
