[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Beneath the Phoenix sun’s cruel glare,
There’s a clinic where the walls don’t lie.
Red dirt whispers through cracked windowpanes,
As the sirens d***n a desert cry.
Smoke rose high from a midnight flame,
Power died, but the pain remained,
Someone poured their shame in the water’s name—
Oh, Northern Star, can you bear the strain?
[Chorus]
Fires burn, and the lights go black,
Overdose shadows never fade back.
We patch up hearts, but the cracks still track—
Ain’t no dull days at Northern Star’s track.
[Verse 2]
They come here broken, souls half-blind,
Walkin’ the edge of a frayin’ wire.
One pill too much, a life left behind,
While the AC chokes on a blown-out fire.
The nurses sigh through the urine stench,
But they hold the hands that the world’s forgot.
Every dawn’s a bet, every night’s a wretch—
This old star shines through the rot.
[Chorus]
Fires burn, and the lights go black,
Overdose shadows never fade back.
We patch up hearts, but the cracks still track—
Ain’t no dull days at Northern Star’s track.
[Bridge]
Some say it’s cursed, some pray for rain,
But the ghosts here hum a weary tune.
Through every c***h, through the tears and strain,
We’re all just orbitin’ the same old moon.
[Chorus]
Fires burn, and the lights go black,
Overdose shadows never fade back.
We patch up hearts, but the cracks still track—
Ain’t no dull days at Northern Star’s track.
[Outro]
