Lyrics

Sky Took Hold

Your mind is erasing
The sky took hold
Of all my little daily fears
They never seem to go
A dusty vista
You hunger for the core
I never meant to take it so far
In me it never shows
Who I am beneath the surface
Hiding out so long inside my mind
Every day I stay, run through it
And it comes and tears me open
Why? All the time
Your heart is erasing
The time just grows
And left me with little doubt
That there's anywhere to go
I'm pushing forward
To leave this home
I never meant to stay so long
My reflection never showed
Who I am beneath the surface
Hiding out so long inside my mind
Every day I stay, run through it
And it comes and tears me open
Why? All the time
Since I was a young boy
It was always there
Inside me growing
None of it seems fair
I've grown to accept it
Let it take the stage
And leave me helpless
Watching far away
Since I was a young boy
It was always there
Inside me growing
None of it seems fair
I've grown to accept it
Let it take the stage
And leave me helpless
Watching far away
