A MANTEL AND THE STARS

Day 3 (2020). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

​

I don’t know which of you to trust

To save my life or turn my soul to dust

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

Blurring the lines between my head and heart 

​

Offer truth if you have some to give

But don’t you dare tell me how to live

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart 

Oh, victory to me Is to find a little peace

And I would if I knew where to start

         

Between my ears it’s skyscrapers and cars

Beneath my chest, a mantel and the stars

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart  

Oh, victory to me Is to find a little peace

And I would if I knew where to start       

​

I can’t count the lies I’ve told myself

The whiskey-laden “should-haves” never help

I’m following the path that’s clear on my heart

Bring me to a mantel and the stars

​

Oh, nothing’s gonna change I’m the air above a flame

I'm blurring the lines between my head and heart

Oh, victory to me is to find a little peace

And I think I found my place to start

I’m going to a mantel and the stars
