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
