A Million Different Stars

Verse 1
Some people  navigate existence through a calculated lens,
Anesthetized by safety, keeping caution as their friends.
But immunity is hollow if you never taste the grit,
I refuse to live a lifetime just to merely tolerate it.

Give me agonizing depth over a superficial peace,
I demand the full experience before my  pulses cease.
I won't accept a quiet exit, pristine and untouched,
With a heartbeat that never quickened and a hand that never clutched.

Chorus
Just to be clear, I seek no shelter to protect my racing  heart
Cuz I'm gonna leave this life so violently torn apart
There will have to be a million different stars  just to catch my scattering parts
Yeah a million different stars just to catch my scattering parts

Verse 2
We are architectures built from all the burdens that we bear,
Yet they treat our fragility  like a psychological snare.
Saying we must guard our psyche, and keep our ego well-protected,
But a life devoid of ruin is a life that's disconnected.

So, I am running toward the collision, accelerating through the grid,
Exposing every nerve my survival instincts hid.
Let the shrapnel of my spirit be a beacon in the night,
As the friction of disintegration sparks a blinding light.

Chorus
Just to be clear, I seek no shelter to protect my racing  heart
Cuz I'm gonna leave this life so violently torn apart
There will have to be a million different stars  just to catch my scattering parts
Yeah a million different stars just to catch my scattering parts
Yeah a million different stars just to catch my scattering parts
