Shattered Sky
I'm feeling weak tonight
Like the air isnt enough for my lungs
Unsettled, anxious, unnerved
Ribs rattle, restraining a heart
That rails the cage, screaming for him
Rejecting reason of time or distance
She wails to be wrapped in your bones.
Come home, we cry,
My battered heart and I...
I moved the world for you.
Nothing makes sense
About your cruel dance
When I've bled for all but you.
Im holding more than planned
Now I've forgotten to stand
Shatted by ghosts of you.
I'm buried with unmet promises
Of the lives I moved by hand
Under the weight of a fallen sky.
Like the air isnt enough for my lungs
Unsettled, anxious, unnerved
Ribs rattle, restraining a heart
That rails the cage, screaming for him
Rejecting reason of time or distance
She wails to be wrapped in your bones.
Come home, we cry,
My battered heart and I...
I moved the world for you.
Nothing makes sense
About your cruel dance
When I've bled for all but you.
Im holding more than planned
Now I've forgotten to stand
Shatted by ghosts of you.
I'm buried with unmet promises
Of the lives I moved by hand
Under the weight of a fallen sky.
