Cascade From the Skies

I watched stars cascade from the skies Like little lies bursting from the ether And I've run out of paper to burn Surrounded by trolls and fake concern If opening my mouth is like opening a wound I'll stitch my lips together until my eyes bleed Looking into the past when I look in the mirror Because each time I look death seems nearer The direction I spin is random Jumping like a frog to a new lily pad I don't think about what I leave behind Until I look back and want to rewind I watched stars cascade from the skies Bursting like every loved one I've lost lately And I've run out of tears to shed Wondering if I'll be next to be dead
