The sky is a little closer than it seems

Shocking, shocked all out of place here

Zapped through their lives with

Faces drowned by water

Seeping, creeping past the distance

It is this very instance i have seen the way this ends

Longing, longing for a father

Waiting for a mother

Hoping to find a brother

Laughing, laughing at all my 

Mishaps

Scared to mark this

Treasure map, buried beneath my comforter

The sky is a little closer than it seems

It screams for the way things here need to be

Gravel turned to sand as i paced along this beachhead

Listen to what my friend said, listen to what she said

The sky is a little closer than it seems

The sky is a little closer than it seems 

Falling, falling down this pipeline 

Waiting for the sun to shine, searching for what remains mine

Shine, shine for this tiny pebble

For this piece of 

Shrapnel, piercing past your flak shell

The sky is a little closer than it seems

Screaming for the way things here need to be

Gravel melted to sand because we shouldn't be here

The gravel turned to sand because friends remain near

Clearly things are more than what they seem to be

Clearly these things will reappear to me

Signs outside my window

Showing echos of false faith 

Grinning at how small children

Run and play all out of place

Showing echos of false faith 

Running down..

There's not much more i can say here

There's not much more i can do

I try my best not to remain here

What could you do even if you knew?

The sky is a little closer than it seems

It screamed for the way things need to be

Gravel turned to sand, my friend believes he is a man

Hes a man who understands what it means to remain young

The sky is a little closer than it seems

The sky is so much closer than it seem!
