A song for when things don't make sense.

lyrics

SKY

Every morning behind the wheel
The billboard signs they make me feel
Like the sky is getting choked
Sun shining through a ragged cloak
With all these plumes of smoke in my eyes
All these plumes of smoke
And the fumes that cause my weary lungs to choke

If I had the wings then I would fly
And take my place up there in the sky blue sky
Where all of this would look so small
Where everything has its place

I see that look that’s in your eyes
And I see that it is a disguise
To keep from feeling all these feelings that you feel
All these feelings that you feel
All these realities to real
They come pushing in again

If I had the wings then I would fly
And take you up with me in the sky blue sky
Where all of this would look so small
And everything is bathed in purpose
