lyrics

I tried to watch the sunset
But it didn’t keep my attention
Looking up every once in a while
From the desk where I’m spending my self-inflicted detention

Day turning into night
Something greedy is sucking away all the light
And there’s fire in the sky
Is it reflected in my eyes?

Well I’ve got no one with whom I wanna check
But am I ready to shuffle up the deck
If the hair’s standing up on the back of my neck
How can I focus on what’s sucking up the light outside
Pretty colors to distract from impending doom
From the very next day, from the very next zoom
And at times when my heart isn’t slow I’ll never know why
Another day another reason to
Cry, but why?
Why cry?
It’s just a pretty sky

Why does it happen every day?
Something must be wrong
Everything goes dark at some point
And maybe it was cloudy all along

Why can’t I enjoy the good things?
Always feels like a monster’s pulling the strings
Is there anything nice to eat
Was I built without springs in my feet

Well I’ve got no one with whom I wanna check
But am I ready to shuffle up the deck
If the hair’s standing up on the back of my neck
How can I focus on what’s sucking up the light outside
Pretty colors to distract from impending doom
From the very next day, from the very next zoom
And at times when my heart isn’t slow I’ll never know why
Another day another reason to
Cry, but why?
Why cry?
It’s just a pretty sky

Above vaseline on bloody lips and bandaids stuck to shredded nails
Periwinkle crescent moons around red eyes, and violent butterflies
A shaky brain moving around on rubber knees,
Contradicting feelings at war
Sometimes it’s all I know of me, is there more?

Well I’ve got no one with whom I wanna check
But am I ready to shuffle up the deck
If the hair’s standing up on the back of my neck
How can I focus on what’s sucking up the light outside
Pretty colors to distract from impending doom
From the very next day, from the very next zoom
And at times when my heart isn’t slow I’ll never know why
Another day another reason to
Cry, but why?
Why cry?
It’s just a pretty sky
