about

Living in NYC as a "starving" artist was fun, but hard, too. Living sort of month to month can be a struggle and that combined with all of the angst and past is what I think this song is about, but also the stretch to transform that and surpass it.

lyrics

The stars came down tonight
They fell about the place
The stars came down tonight
In a bittersweet embrace
I watched my whole life come tumbling down
Layers of my past were stripped away
A blinding light flashed in my eyes
The things that I believed were all a lie

The stars came down tonight
Slightly out of reach
The stars came down tonight
With the answers that I seek
The darkness of my life began to pale
The voices of my past began to fade
Suddenly old wounds began to heal
And what I thought was numb began to feel

I fumbled in the dark
Held myself tight nothing felt right
There‘s not enough time
To hang around

The stars came down tonight
To illuminate the day
The stars came down tonight
I almost turned away
The trouble with my life is in my head
The key to open doors lies in my hands
If I go against the tide will I prevail
Or give you my soul only to fail

I fumbled in the dark
Held myself tight nothing felt right
There‘s not enough time
To sit around
I fumbled in the dark
Held myself tight nothing seemed right
Not enough not enough not enough time
Not enough not enough time
Not enough not enough not enough time
