lirik lagu scarlett bittencourt - celestial

[verse 1]
i wake with the weight of a list i never finish
coffee cold a crooked picture on the sill
i wanted to be steady to answer when they called
i wanted to be wanted instead i learned to hold my own small fall

[pre~chorus]
there were lights i thought would follow me home
hands that promised steady and then left me alone
i kept asking why the colors ran away
was it me or was it just another ordinary day

[chorus]
you used to say i was celestial like it was something i wore
now you’re lighting candles like i’m gone and nothing more
you dug my name in the dirt and walked away smiling
six years and a birthday i don’t remember filing
you called me heaven once like a joke, like a line
if i’m still here
can someone tell me it’s mine?
i was celestial, celestial

[verse 2]
old friends learned their laughter by carving at my back
they patched their dignity with the crumbs of what i had
wolves with gentle faces sheep holding each other’s shame
everyone got lighter at the cost of my name
[pre~chorus 2]
i sowed a little garden in the quiet of my chest
watered it with small good things and tried to do my best
one morning the leaves were brown the gate was open wide
i asked the empty street where did my seedlings hide

[bridge]
at my own small funeral they said “poor thing” like a song
they arranged plastic flowers and pretended they belong
my mother touched my sleeve and pretended not to cry
an aunt checked her messages between the eulogies and lies
i smiled because i didn’t know any other way
smiled to keep the pieces from scattering in the day
celestial, celestial…
celestial, celestal…
