Borrowed Starlight

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Trading July

for a sky

made of glass

Walking through a market made of

glowing vials

Trading real memories for some first

smiles

I sold the summer rain when

I was seventeen

To buy a single hour in

a neon dream The bottle shines

like diamonds in the palm of

my hand

A spark of magic that I

never planned

Every bright high

comes with a ghost

Losing the things that I needed

the most

A fading photograph turning to air

I look for the feeling but

nothing is there

Borrowed starlight burning in my veins

Dancing through the illusion while the

daylight fades I traded my Julys

for a sky made of glass

Sold all my yesterdays just to

make midnight last Oh,

borrowed starlight

It shines so bright

But it leaves no trace

I don't remember the sound of

my mother's voice

Or the quiet autumn days before

I made the choice

Just vivid kaleidoscope,

artificial gold

A thousand fake sunsets bought and

sold

My pockets are empty,

my history's bare

Standing in the starlight that isn't

really there

Borrowed starlight burning in my veins

Dancing through the illusion while the

daylight fades I traded my Julys

for a sky made of glass

Sold all my yesterdays just to

make midnight last Oh,

borrowed starlight

It shines so bright

But it leaves no trace

How much of me is really

left?
