Jasper Ash - Counting Stars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Counting stars with grandma, now I'm counting pills
Ketamine dreams got me floating past windowsills
Hospital lights flicker like those nights we shared
Dad's getting thinner while these demons got me scared
Memory's fading like these Bristol city lights
Can't tell what's real anymore, lost in paranoid nights

[Chorus]
Stars are falling, system's breaking down
Can't keep my head straight in this f*cked up town
Memories warped like that piano in my head
Sometimes I wish that night had left me dead
But I'm still here, still breathing through the pain
Looking for peace in this chemical rain

[Verse 2]
Found my old recordings, voice I don't recognize
Static in my veins and needles in my eyes
Streets feel different now I'm walking them clean
But every alley whispers what I could've been
Dad's fighting battles while I'm fighting mine
Generation cursed, walking that same line

[Bridge]
Childhood home's a ghost now, walls are closing in
Every fix I dodged is another chance to win
But these stars keep falling, falling, falling down
And I'm still counting, counting, trying not to drown

[Outro]
Grandma taught me constellations, now they're all confused
Everything I thought I knew has been abused
But maybe in this breakdown, something new can grow
Through the static and the pain, let the real me show
Stars keep falling but I'm learning how to fly
Even if this whole damn world is passing by
