[Verse 1]
I've been waiting all this time
Watching my shadows arrange
I've been straying from the course hoping to make a change

I have worked against my code
Forcing my feet to align
I've been straining every cord controlling my slumber spine

[Chorus]
He will never leave his burning star
He will never cross the tainted element
He will never leave his solitude
He will never leave his solitude

[Verse 2]
I've been training to depart
Like statues preparing to fly
I've collected every sight needed to calm my eye
I've been holding back the night
Now I'm holding back the day

[Chorus]
He will never leave his burning star
He will never cross the tainted element
He will never leave his solitude
He will never leave his solitude
[Bridge]
Patiently reaching for dark terrain
Hoping his self-restraint disappears
He will keep searching for confidence
Watching the evidence in his fears

[Chorus]
But he will never leave his burning star
He will never cross the tainted element
He will never leave his solitude
'Cause he will never leave his thoughts of you
