Lyrics

Counterfeit Sky

It's no mistake
It's all your fault
What holds you down
Just find your ghost

One more sunlight breaks you down
The counterfeit sky sells you out
After all the change, nothing's changed
Wake up laughing and don't know who you are

It's not a switch
Or a reflex
In all the ways
You sink your guest

One more sunlight breaks you down
The counterfeit sky sells you out
After all the change, nothing's changed
Wake up laughing (Wake up laughing)

Are you mine all the time?
When you dream (When you dream)

One more sunlight breaks you down
The counterfeit sky sells you out
After all the change, nothing's changed
Wake up laughing and don't know who you are (Who you are?)

Are you mine? (Who you are?)

One more sunlight breaks you down (Breaks you down)
The counterfeit sky sells you out (Sells you out)
After all the change, nothing's changed
Nothing's changed
