歌詞

Lean in close and you may hear the cries of crashing seas And a death to lofty expectations meant for me A star is born tonight, in between these walls away from spotlights As it shoots across the skies, dimming too much for wishes within my sights Praying I won't lay my head down Another morning with a mind racing, heartbeats hold still Sweating longer miles as liquor pours out of this quill The final word is mine, now smash the conch and fill this hourglass with wine In a subtle toast to life and the silenced spirits left unrecognized "To sleep, perchance to dream" Dog-ear our page in history Unsung, in chorus rise, to glean hope from a life despised
