R-accoon - The Boy Who Burned The Stars Lyrics

(What happened??)
He hides in a corner where the streetlights don't reach
A sailor lost on an endless beach
His eyes are rivers swollen and dry
The kind of blue you only see when stars die
He spends his days collecting fragments of time
Shattered reflections that don't quite rhyme
Every hour's a ghost that haunts his hands
Building a castle of sinking sands
I call hoping he'll pick up the line
His voice cracks "I'm not fine"
He says "It's not just a storm-it's the sea"
And my words choke in the debris
All this time I couldn't see
He was sinking slow
I'd break the tides tear down the sky
If it helped him know
Too young to drown in the undertow
But I'd burn the moon to make him glow
Forever lost if he lets go
He paints with shadows on a canvas of dust
Building worlds where he can trust
His smile's a flicker a moth to the flame
A fleeting whisper calling my name
Every scar is a map etched deep in his skin
Of battles he fought but couldn't win
I trace the lines trying to feel his pain
But his silence is thunder deafening rain
I call pleading to pull him back
He's there a silhouette in black
He says "It's not the fall it's the flight"
And my heart breaks in the night
All this time I couldn't see
He was sinking slow
I'd break the tides tear down the sky
If it helped him know
Too young to drown in the undertow
But I'd burn the moon to make him glow
Forever lost if he lets go
If I could build a lighthouse in his mind
Guide him back to the life he left behind
I'd chase away the shadows where they sleep
And hold his heart when it starts to weep
But he walks the edge where the wild winds call
A step from flight a breath from the fall
And as he fades into the night's cold grip
I scream his name but my voice starts to slip
All this time I couldn't see
He was letting go
I'd shatter the heavens break every chain
If it stopped the flow
Too young to lose to the undertow
But the waves crash hard and they won't let go
Forever winter now I know
(Ooh ooh ooh)
I'd set the sky on fire for you
But your silence stole my truth
You're a memory carved in the snow
Forever winter since you let go
He hides in a corner where the shadows sleep
A boy who fell too far too deep
I say "Believe in one thing-don't leave me alone"
But the echoes answer; he's already gone
