Background Lyrics by Driveways

The Sky Seems Closer

0

You left me in the background

Sixteen different times
I kept a tally down of every time you tried to cover up your lies
Had me thinking…What’s in your life?

What kinds of contradictions justify the time
That your descent denied
You left me in the dark

You left me me in the dark

You left me in the background
You left me in the dark

You pushed me by the wayside
You ripped us all apart
You ripped us all apart

It’s been a long ten years but I came home
You manifest my fears so I lay low
Redirect my anger quell their pain
But I reject your words forget your name

It’s been a
Lifetime since we last spoke
But I don’t feel that need, believe that hope
Resurrect my demons keep yours dead
They begged and they plead
But you left us in the dark

Days grow older, nights get colder, the sky seems closer now

Ripped us all apart

Unclear perception
A stage set for this scene
For this

Covey of demons
They fill the space between
Between the back and for
The for

Timing my friend
I need a favor
Fill the field of depth
The field

Days grow older, nights get colder, the sky seems closer now
