Heliocentric

I just need a little time to be able to forget
I need to stop real soon, before my eyes get too wet
I need to just shut up and smile, but instead I fret
Well, I guess this is life, I guess it's what I get

I had another breakdown, another lapse in control
I had another freak out, I thought I lost my soul
I can't stop my shivering, I can't keep from being cold
It's like my insecurities froze solid, and then they ate me whole

Once more I felt the empty, nagging pain from outer space
A dying galaxy within me, as bleak as Mars's face-
turned into a giant supernova, and the stardust went to waste
Leaving a black hole in my stomach, it's such a bitter taste

But then she came my way and told me I was wrong
One simple word from her and my doubt didn't last too long
She consoled me so much easier than any other song
She is oh so full of warmth, this is where I belong

It's another affair, another flare up, another chance to go insane
To have another round of the sickness, more poison in my veins
But this one feels different, something more I have attained
Finally something worth fighting for through all the hurt and pain

The galaxy, it had to die to make way for one more sun
I tricked myself into thinking that Father Time was done
He just re-did the Big Bang, who said there'd be only one?
The new warmth is so welcome, a fresh start has begun

So, of course, in this case too, Copernicus was right
If she's the sun within me, then there's no way to fight-
all of the laws of physics, gravity holds all the might-
when she's the center of the stars, she's all I need tonight
