Asterisk

I contemplated suicide, when my cat died It seems stupid now, but it didn’t that night Sometimes, the smallest thing in the universe Is the biggest thing in your life… And the worst pain always passes Even when you’re not positive that you want it to Like a sad song on repeat, might keep your spirits up The light in the tunnel that you’re crawling to Might be a supernova, half a universe away Destruction looks so beautiful today So, make a wish on that tragedy Make a wish on that distant candlestick Make a wish on that spy satellite overhead Make a wish on every shooting asterisk ‘cause if we lose everything it won’t be much more Than what we’ve already lost right here We are background characters with no lines A fraction of a frame is our whole life But I’ll steal a kiss in it if you don’t mind…(if you don’t mind) I may not take up a lot of space But I hope you can see me I may not have the deepest roots here But I don’t plan on leaving I may not sing a very pretty melody But every word in the song is true I may not burn as bright as the other stars But I belong to you I belong to you…
