When the Stars Refuse to Shine

(Verse 1) I walked the void beyond the night, Under the shade of twilight's blight. Echoes of silence, an empty call, As shadows rise and the darkness falls. (Verse 2) The heavens mute, their lights dim, Whispers of a cosmic hymn. Lost in the void where stars won't dare, Breathing in the cold, stale air. (Chorus) When the stars refuse to shine, I find my truth, these tears divine. The universe sings in somber tones, Among these celestial bones. (Verse 3) Time spirals in an endless dance, With weary souls, it takes its chance. Life flickers like a candle's flame, Fading slowly, whispering my name. (Verse 4) I gaze upon the eternal black, Yearning for the light I lack. In the depth of night, I plead and pine, For a single spark to once more shine. (Chorus) When the stars refuse to shine, My spirit wails for a sign. In the dark, I'm lost, alone, My heart as cold as stone. (Bridge) The abyss stares back at me, A reflection of what could be. In the silence, I find my fears, Echoing through the cosmic tears. (Verse 5) I walk the edge of destiny, The universe sprawls, vast and free. Yet in this void, I'm blind to see The line between the stars and me. (Chorus) When the stars refuse to shine, That’s when the night claims what’s mine. I surrender to the dark's embrace, In the void, I find my place. (Outro) So here I stand, where stars fade away, At the brink where night swallows day. I am the shadow, I am the line, Where light ends, when stars refuse to shine.
