Em                                                                   C
It's been a while now, feel like I been stuck inside of this moment

The weight of the world on my shoulders is pulling me down
                           G
I been trying to hold it

Everyone's dealing with issues
                                             D
Most of us don't got the courage to show it

A lot on my mind, gotta expose it

This is the path that I chosen
Em
I gotta lotta bad days, so I write
                                   C
When I'm in a bad state of my life

I been living at a fast pace
                                            G        
I'm alright, but I really feel I lost faith
                                                                        D
This is the place that I turn when the world that I live in is darkest

I got a message for all of the people

Who think that their life's become garbage
Em
Late at night when you can't decide if you wanna live or you wanna die
C
Hard to sleep and you can barely breathe

Feel the pain inside as it amplifies
G
Bad things happen that we can't explain

You can let go of the past but the scars remain
D
You gotta lot of anger that you can't contain

Now you need to find a way to let it go and change


[Chorus 1]
Em                   C
Star on fire, I'm trying
                            G
To burn without collapsing

Hanging in the balance
D
Caught in the middle of silence
Em                    C
Light me up, I'm searching
                        G
Looking for one reason

Tryna find the beacon

D

To guide me home


[Verse 2]
Em
   Hope

Now that's a word that I'm pretty new to
C
Stuck in depression
                                              G
Now that's something that I'm pretty used to

A lonely road

Who knew that people would like me because of my YouTube
D
But I'm grateful

That's what I feel every time that I see I got new views


Em
But I'm so confused

What's the point of a view if I'm a slave to it
C
This day in age is pretty dangerous
                                            G
Why is Facebook determining relationships

Kids overdose in the basement with

No clue what do when their parents split
D
Started to slip, they were losing their grip

Couldn't bare to repair their embarrassment


Em
When you feel like you been living in a dark maze

Scream why when you looking up and stargaze
C
You lose sight in the storm when it's all grey

You can't fight

You really wanna part ways
          G
But think twice

For your life's a gift, it's alright
                                                 D
When you feel you can't find it just reach out a hand

And somebody will show you the light


[Chorus 1]
Em                   C
Star on fire, I'm trying
                            G
To burn without collapsing

Hanging in the balance
D
Caught in the middle of silence
Em                    C
Light me up, I'm searching
                        G
Looking for one reason

Tryna find the beacon
D
To guide me home


[Instrumental]
Em  C  G  D

Yeah
Em
It's been too long, I been falling

Lord knows that it's all been exhausting
C
I feel that my soul is evolving

I'm done with the pain I been causing
G
I've waited for strength to resolve this

I hear that my angels are calling
D
In the rain of the storm, I'ma calm it

I'll crawl if I have to, I'm all in


[Bridge]
Em
I've been waiting for so long
C                        G
Can't do this on my own
                       D
I need to know there's more than this feeling


[Chorus 1]
Em                C
Star on fire, I'm trying
              G                 D
Oh I'm burning, but I'm not collapsing
Em                     C
Light me up, I'm searching
             G                D
For a reason, I found the beacon
            Em
To guide me home
