Core Collapse
A star collapsing under its own weight and burning brighter for it.
“It burns brighter than before”
Lyrics
I burned the light ones first and fast
The easy fuel, the bright and thin
I told myself that it would last
And felt the heavy setting in
Now every fire burns for less
It costs me more than it returns
I'm pressing down to heaviness
The one thing that no longer burns
Let it fall, let it all fall in
Let it crush the one I've been
When it cannot fall anymore
It burns brighter than before
And when it goes, it goes as light
Outshining all of them combined
And every heavy thing tonight
Was made from what it left behind
Let it fall, let it all fall in
Let it crush the one I've been
When it cannot fall anymore
It burns brighter than before
Every mask I wore is fuel
Every silence, every rule
Let it fall until it breaks
Let it give back all it takes
Let it fall, let it all fall in
Let it crush the one I've been
When it cannot fall anymore
It burns brighter than before
I was made from what it left behind
