lyrics

DEAD STARS SHINE
(PULLEYS/WEIGHTS)

It comes in waves, and it breaks my heart
it tears me apart, right down the middle, the middle, the middle

then it starts to subside, and like the morning tide
by two shores I'm forever tied, all the while I'm still fighting my devils

dead stars will still shine tomorrow, but still you wait
no matter what I say
and I'll try to stop using a hammer, and pulleys, and weights,
to put it all back in place

it's the ocean's roar, or the day right before
your whole world is torn, “nothing's simple” is becoming my hymnal

like tin foil on teeth, it's what stirs beneath
sleeps in darkest seas- my skin, habit, heart, mapped in symbols

dead stars will still shine tomorrow, but still you wait
no matter what I say
and I'll try to stop using a hammer, and pulleys, and weights,
to put it all back in place

dead stars shine, across the great divide
carrying their light, adding distance and speed, to time

I carry the signs of a well run dry
seen through a dead's god's eye
flashing earthquake lights, for a last goodbye

dead stars will still shine tomorrow, but still you wait
no matter what I say
and I'll try to stop using a hammer, and pulleys, and weights,
to put it all back in place

about

Better Living Through Chemistry Ottawa, Ontario

Better Living Through Chemistry are a straight up rock band, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks.

They have a bad case of broken strings, cracked cymbals, and buzzing mics. Schooled in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s, this band wears their influences (The Replacements, Faith No More, R.E.M., & Soul Asylum, (among many others) on their collective sleeves...like badges of honour.
