SJL_Neon Dawn: Heaviest Star (Black Heart)_SJL RE-IMAGINED .mp3

nu-metal, industrial metal, aggressive male vocals

[Verse 1]
They taught me how to wear the light
before I learned to know my name.
Every flaw became a weakness,
every failure became shame.
“Be better.”
“Be stronger.”
“Don't ever let them see you fall.”
So I built another layer every time I hit the wall.
I learned to smile when I was breaking,
learned to hide what wasn't right.
I kept feeding something burning
just to prove I had the light.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time I burned brighter,
something disappeared inside. I could see everyone watching me, but I could no longer 
see myself.

[Chorus]
Black heart, heavy star,
carrying worlds that fell apart.
Black heart, burning deep,
all the things I buried, I could never keep.
I was born to shine, but I learned to carry the night. Black heart, heavy star.
How much darkness can a soul contain?

[Verse 2]
Every victory made me brighter.
Every wound made me hard.
Every mistake I couldn't face
became another weight I carried in the dark.
I thought the light would save me.
I thought perfection meant I won.
But the brighter that I became,
the less I saw what I had done.
I couldn't see the damage.
I couldn't hear the cracks.
I was so busy looking upward
I never looked back.
And beneath the perfect surface,
something slowly came undone.
A heart was burning without oxygen,
still pretending to be the sun.

[Pre-Chorus]
The light became blinding.
The pressure pulled me down.
The star kept getting heavier
while everyone called me proud.

[Chorus]
Black heart, heavy star,
carrying worlds that fell apart.
Black heart, burning deep,
all the things I buried, I could never keep.
I was taught to shine until I forgot how to see. (myself)
Black heart, heavy star.
How much darkness
can a soul contain?

[Bridge]
I don't want to shine anymore.
Not for them, Not to be perfect.
Not to be seen, I want to see.
I want to see what I became.
I want to see what I broke.
I want to see the darkness
I spent my whole life...
trying to illuminate.

[Final Chorus]
Black heart, heavy star,
now I know what you are. (myself)
You were never evil, You were never wrong.
You were everything I buried just to keep 
shining on.

Black heart, heavy star. I carried you too far.
And if the light must disappear so I can finally see, (myself)
then let the star collapse. Let the darkness speak.

[Outro]

"I was taught to shine until I forgot how to see. (myself)

The heaviest star was never the one above me.
It was the one...
I carried inside."
