A MANTEL AND THE STARS

Day 3 (2020). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

I don’t know which of you to trust

To save my life or turn my soul to dust

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

Blurring the lines between my head and heart 

Offer truth if you have some to give

But don’t you dare tell me how to live

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart 

Oh, victory to me Is to find a little peace

And I would if I knew where to start

         

Between my ears it’s skyscrapers and cars

Beneath my chest, a mantel and the stars

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart  

Oh, victory to me Is to find a little peace

And I would if I knew where to start       

I can’t count the lies I’ve told myself

The whiskey-laden “should-haves” never help

I’m following the path that’s clear on my heart

Bring me to a mantel and the stars

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart

Oh, victory to me is to find a little peace

And I think I found my place to start

I’m going to a mantel and the stars
