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
