buy the stars〔 slowed + reverb 〕

❝ we come alone and alone we die ❞

this song really hit for me. i found it at the right time when i was separating from someone i cared deeply about but wasn’t in the right headspace to care for me properly. Perhaps this person was trying to change their darkness by being with me but we all know it never works out that way and if you aren’t in the right headspace to start a relationship it isn’t going to turn out well for you. And so i’ve been obsessed with this song ever since. this version is truly so haunting.

I love this version! It sounds stunning, great work! Thought I might as well put the lyrics here since nobody else has ^^
You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I'm not yours to keep
Because you'll never see, that the stars are free

Oh we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well

All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, you'd like to think you know me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars,
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are

You bought a star in the sky tonight
And in your man-made dark
The light inside you died

Oh we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well

All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, you'd like to think you own me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars,
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are

You know only how to own me
You know only how to own me

You're buying stars to shut out the light
We come alone and then we die
And no matter how hard you try
I'll always belong in the sky

And you could buy up all of the stars,
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are

You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I'm not yours to keep
Because you'll never see, that the stars are free
Oh, we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well
All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, you'd like to think you know me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
You bought a star in the sky tonight
And in your man-made dark
The light inside you died
Oh, we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well
All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
And still, you'd like to think you own me
You keep buying stars
And you could buy up all the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
You know only how to own me
You know only how to own me
You're buying stars to shut out the light
We come alone and alone we die
And no matter how hard you try
I'll always belong in the sky
And you could buy up all of the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
It's who you are
