lyrics

i tread the swamp of cables
lay hands on my guitar
a thousand eyes blink at me
like binary stars
i let the sound surround me
the chatter & applause
as the spotlights change from blue to red
like binary stars

if i offer this confession
will you take it down as fact?
the extent of my ascension
took me aback
a radio transmission
or a single point of light
it was never my ambition
to shine this bright
like a binary star

but our fates were tied together
i was rising as you fell
& as i saw you passing by me
i reached out to help
& i made the right decision
cause i'm glad to have you here
we're two bodies in one orbit
like binary stars

shine brighter than the sun
bathing everyone in sight
with new light
sing louder than the crowd
never let them drown you out
take your place at the front

shine brighter than the sun
bathing everyone in sight
with new light
climb higher than you dared
up to where the air grows thin
melt the wax from your wings
