Another year is gone

In the quiet of the dawn

The screen burns cold and bright

Just one word in black and white

Held my breath to see the line

A future that I thought was mine

Built it up so carefully

Brick by brick, for all to see

But I feel the floor begin to shake

Every single promise starts to break

A hairline crack, a whisper of a doubt

And now the walls are coming down

Oh, oh, oh, shattered skylines in my mind

Leaving all my dreams behind

I'm falling through the empty grey

Watching it all just fade away

Oh, oh, oh, another star falls from the sky

Didn't even get to say goodbye

Just standing in the afterglow

With nowhere left for me to go

I walk the same old streets

To a silent, lonely beat

Faces pass me in a blur

They're who I thought I was, or were

Every corner holds a ghost

Of the thing I wanted most

And I feel the air is getting thin

Don't know where I can begin

This heavy weight, this tidal wave of shame

As everyone forgets my name

Oh, oh, oh, shattered skylines in my mind

Leaving all my dreams behind

I'm falling through the empty grey

Watching it all just fade away

Oh, oh, oh, another star falls from the sky

Didn't even get to say goodbye

Just standing in the afterglow

With nowhere left for me to go

But down here on the solid ground

In the ruin that I've found

I can feel my own heartbeat

A stubborn, slow, and real defeat

Maybe falling isn't just the end

It's the place where you begin again

Oh, oh, oh, shattered skylines in my mind

Not leaving everything behind

I'm climbing from the empty grey

Gonna find a brand new way

Oh, oh, oh, let the stars fall from the sky

This time I'm not afraid to try

I'm standing in the morning glow

And there's somewhere left for me to go

Shattered skylines

Yeah, the sun will rise

I will rise

I will rise
