Dayshell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The clock hits paranoia
Slowly I begin to mask myself within
So I'm begging for ya
Share with me only
Star in the sky
I need a sign from another light
The past tense remedy,
The wrong place to get to know ya
I wouldn't be the man you see in magazines
If it wasn't for your love
And your faith
For the sake
On this miserable fucking mess
But I won't lie to you
I don't need to be famous
Just need you to save us
Share with me only
Star in the sky
I need a sign from another light
Share with me only
Star in the sky
I need a sign from another light
Fashion
Survival from
The poison through my veins
Cruel world of shame
You wouldn't know what
I can taste
I can tell by your sweat,
Tears of sadness, regret
But believe me or not
There is beauty I thought
I hope someday you'll see
I'm not the boy in between
But the man that was born
To be seen
I need a sign from another light
Share with me only
Star in the sky
I need a sign from another light
