Satellite Memory (Lights Out)
from Skipping Stones by Forging Reverie
lyrics
There was a time
When you would shed the sun on everyone you met
Though out of sight
You're still a source of light, afraid to set a fire
And though you now sit alone
Casting shadows to eclipse your own silhouette
I see you there
You're still a stare in the face, and I'm the smile you forget to hide
I know it's inside
You're still a source of light
And I'm your satellite
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember...
Lights out...
Again...
For now I'll hide
In crowds, behind their shadows, losing my head
I'll shut my eyes
Just to block out light; letting nothing out or in
Maybe I'm searching for a sign
Of where the hell your mind has gone, or trying to forget
But there you are
You're like a star that’s been pasted to the inside of my lids
I know you're inside
You're still burning bright
And I'm your satellite
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember (where I am)
Oh please, turn on the lights
I'd open my eyes but I'm too busy
Trying to remember (while I can)
Lights out...
Again...
Don't - Don't burn out on me
Oh please, turn off the gravity
There's a black hole inside your head...
Don't - Don't burn out on me
You'll swallow all your memories
Oh please, turn on your lights, instead!
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember (where I am)
Oh please, turn on the lights
I'd open my eyes but I'm too busy
Trying to remember (while I can)
Lights out (Lights out)
Lights out... again...
When you would shed the sun on everyone you met
Though out of sight
You're still a source of light, afraid to set a fire
And though you now sit alone
Casting shadows to eclipse your own silhouette
I see you there
You're still a stare in the face, and I'm the smile you forget to hide
I know it's inside
You're still a source of light
And I'm your satellite
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember...
Lights out...
Again...
For now I'll hide
In crowds, behind their shadows, losing my head
I'll shut my eyes
Just to block out light; letting nothing out or in
Maybe I'm searching for a sign
Of where the hell your mind has gone, or trying to forget
But there you are
You're like a star that’s been pasted to the inside of my lids
I know you're inside
You're still burning bright
And I'm your satellite
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember (where I am)
Oh please, turn on the lights
I'd open my eyes but I'm too busy
Trying to remember (while I can)
Lights out...
Again...
Don't - Don't burn out on me
Oh please, turn off the gravity
There's a black hole inside your head...
Don't - Don't burn out on me
You'll swallow all your memories
Oh please, turn on your lights, instead!
Oh please, turn off the gravity
It's grown so dark and I'm so dizzy
Trying to remember (where I am)
Oh please, turn on the lights
I'd open my eyes but I'm too busy
Trying to remember (while I can)
Lights out (Lights out)
Lights out... again...
