Light Up In The Sky

A song I wrote living away from home at the beginning of last year. It was a very confusing time for me, and I have not written anything that describes those feelings any clearer than this.

I look up at the sky

From the corner of the townhouse

Bowing and waving like I’m standing in the roundhouse

Cause my life is like a Broadway musical production

People look at me and wonder how do I function?

Disorganisation and big words like that

Put me off the track

Pulling me off my slack

And things like that

I learned to sing in highschool, never looked back

But actually I did

Hey man what’s with that?

You don’t know the hypocrisy and due idiocracy

Till you walk in the shoes of me the minority

I have the opportunity to be normal, what’s stopping me?

Man I never gave you crap

Why you on at me?

 

I never saw the light up in the sky

Light up the distance

Like the mistress of the clouds

Dispensing oceans that can kill a man

Can be put at bay by bags of sand

I could be brave and stand alone

 

Let he who is without sin cast the last damn stone!!!

 

I’m on the edge of the water staring out into the ocean deep

I wonder……

I wonder……

Why’s the sky grey where the clouds and spirit meet

O so bleak…

O so bleak…

 

Ladey dadey dadey not naming anybody

But you wanna be around when I’m not seeing anybody

I’m fine with that, I’m freaking fine with that

I turn around now, man I’m not fine with that

Walking around in a thin disguise

Dotting my T’s and crossing my I’s and singing

I gotta go down I’m the next in line

The irony of where you get when you believe in a lie

Cause, you don’t know the hypocrisy and due idiocracy

Till you walk in the shoes of me the minority

I have the opportunity to be normal, what’s stopping me?

Man I never gave you crap

Why you on at me?

 

 

I never saw the light up in the sky

Light up the distance

Like the mistress of the clouds

Dispensing oceans that can kill a man

Can be put at bay by bags of sand

I could be brave and stand alone

 

Let he who is without sin cast the last damm stone!!!

 

I’m on the edge of the water staring out into the ocean deep

I wonder……

I wonder……

Why’s the sky grey where the clouds and spirit meet

O so bleak…

O so bleak…

I’m on the edge of the water staring out into the ocean deep

I wonder……

I wonder……

Why’s the sky grey where the clouds and spirit meet

O so bleak…

O so bleak…

O so bleak…

O so bleak…

 

Why’s the sky grey where the clouds and spirit meet?

Sinking swiftly with the suns abandoned dreams

I never wanted to let you go out here

But I have to…..

Oh oh oh

I have to…..

Oh,

I’m so sorry….

Author's Note

I hope the outro is legible. (I'm worried about the font it is presented in) This is because I dragged the text directly from my album manuscript. I really hope you get something from reading this.
