The stars rain a chill light but I never feel the cold
My eyes burn clean and clear, my hands are full of cinders
I am dirty, I am ugly, but I feel as if I'm beautiful
My eyes flame clean and clear, my hands are stained with cinders
You could make me shine for a night, make me shine for a night
In your reflected light, it's only your reflected light
But come the morning, come the morning
My eyes wouldn't sparkle so bright
I'm content as I am, lucid visions dance
My eyes flame clean and clear, my hands are caked with cinders
I am dirty, I am ugly, but I feel as if I'm beautiful
My eyes flame clean and clear, and I'm not ashamed of the cinders
You could make me shine for a night, make me shine for a night
In your reflected light, it's only your reflected light
But come the morning, come the morning
My eyes wouldn't sparkle so bright
Don't slay my dragons, don't come to my rescue
I don't need no saving and I don't want a hero
Leave your polished armor home or just leave me alone
My eyes flame clean and clear, and I don't fear the cinders
You could make me shine for a night, make me shine for a night
In your reflected light, it's only your reflected light
But come the morning, come the morning
My eyes wouldn't sparkle so bright
I am dirty, I am ugly, but I feel as if I'm beautiful

Fall With Me
I caught light kissing rain beneath the bright cathedral of a swirling sky
Locked in a desperate embrace, a hopeless race with time, an irresistible goodbye
Fall, fall with me
Leaves dancing with wind, blushing at each breath that brushes their skin
I see them bursting into flame, breaking into flight, an irresistible goodbye
Fall, fall with me
