Under the cyan sky, lay down your only life.
Let all your words endure, for a cavern in which to yearn.
Let all your grief take flight, through the silence across the night.
Let it burn through every lawn, and every surface across the wall.
From beneath the edgeless sea, where the irises bloom and sleep,
if everyone left them to rot in the sand would it hurt just to listen then?
To every single word, and every storm that would twist and turn,
although your eyes are sullen and filled with tears, let them flow as the crumbling earth.
Where everything turns to dirt, and every illusion gets lost in the dark of your words, should you weep, or should you stand tall? Was there ever a choice left at all?
And if everyone loves in the same old way, would there ever be rest to be had? Calm is the iron heart, the everlasting light beyond the cold dark home.
And if this should end in tears, or drown in my sin.
Hold fast to the embers and, the colours we hear.
There's nothing that you should fear, don't wait till the end.
Take all that you have and hold so dear.
Under the cyan sky, if all who live must die, then let everyday be bright, till the end of our nights, and we all can say goodnight.
