Iron in my lungs Starlight in my teeth Drifting past the bones of worlds That never learned to breathe Calendar of scars Carved across my chest Every wound a burning moon That never lets me rest I am the star-drowned prophet Talking to the dead dark sky Every secret that I swallow Turns to fire in my eyes Time breaks Time bends Time bleeds through me I was never meant to die I am the star-drowned prophet Screaming but the void replies Helmets full of ghosts Names I never speak Their echoes rattle metal ribs Seven nights a week Future in a jar Shaking in my hand I drank the storm that should’ve killed me Now I understand I saw my shadow on Saturn’s rings Older than the man I’ll be I shed my skin like falling things Watched it burn in zero g If pain’s a gate Then I walked through Left my name on the other side If fate’s a blade It cut me new And I came back twice as wide I am the star-drowned prophet Talking to the dead dark sky Every secret that I swallow Turns to fire in my eyes Time bends Time bends Time bleeds through me I was never meant to die I am the star-drowned prophet Screaming but the void replies
