The sun and the stars are just like you and me are
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
The cold and lonely dark
I was like a candle with the wick cut to close
Took pills and booze and trouble and coke
My flesh fell away and my fingernails broke
But I never could quite touch the flame to the rope
The sun and the stars are just like you and me are
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
The cold and lonely dark
Mom was like a shadow at the end of the day
She just slowly stretched and slipped away
Brother and I were too old to be tamed
You know sometimes things go wrong and it ain't about blame
The sun and the stars are just like you and me are
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
The cold and lonely dark
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
The cold and lonely dark
I was like a candle with the wick cut to close
Took pills and booze and trouble and coke
My flesh fell away and my fingernails broke
But I never could quite touch the flame to the rope
The sun and the stars are just like you and me are
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
The cold and lonely dark
Mom was like a shadow at the end of the day
She just slowly stretched and slipped away
Brother and I were too old to be tamed
You know sometimes things go wrong and it ain't about blame
The sun and the stars are just like you and me are
They spend their whole lives trying to fight
The cold and lonely dark
