Stabat mater dolorosa
Anorexia Nervosa Lyrics

We are the Sun
We are the center of attention, shining bright and casting light on everything. We demand to be noticed and revered.

We are the dead stars
We are former luminaries, now fallen into obscurity and irrelevance. We were once great, but now we are fading away.

We are the candle
We are the only source of light in your life, the one thing that can guide you through the darkness. You are lost without us.

The only light
Without us, you are in complete darkness. We are the only ones who can guide you and show you the way.

We are the machines of the past
