Broken Stars, Perfect Trailers
by Ash
Lyrics
Verse 1
Prettiest lie I ever bought
All those planets in that promo shot
Every trailer felt like fate
Every login just another wait
Long nights staring at a frozen sky
Ship on fire but it cannot fly
Chat filled up with hopeful spin
I hit retry and I sink back in
Chorus
All these broken stars
Perfect trailers
All this promise wrapped in vapor
Every dream they drew on paper
Burns a little hole in me
We paid futures for a fever
Called it vision
Called it savior
Guess the galaxy is cheaper
Than admitting we were played
Verse 2
Friends kept saying
“it’ll grow”
Just a patch and then the magic shows
So we joked through every bug
Pulled our chairs up to a phantom hub
I named a ship after better days
Hung my faith on digital space
Funny how a loading screen
Can swallow up your early teens
Chorus
All these broken stars
Perfect trailers
All this promise wrapped in vapor
Every dream they drew on paper
Burns a little hole in me
We paid futures for a fever
Called it vision
Called it savior
Guess the galaxy is cheaper
Than admitting we were played
Bridge
Maybe I just wanted to believe
That someone out there cared like me
Built a world that we could feel
So I let them blur the real
Chorus
All these broken stars
Perfect trailers
All this promise wrapped in vapor
Every dream they drew on paper
Burns a little hole in me
We paid futures for a fever
Called it vision
Called it savior
Left our hearts inside a hangar
Where the ships don’t ever leave
