The Sky Directly Lyrics

We're safe inside this pain of mine
Pictures in my frame of mind
Circles in a chain of lies
And distanced from your compromises
You don't have a problem with this
I can see you're making it
Listen to these thoughts of mine
I will never make it because

I can't see it all already
You must see the sky directly

Angels in a perfect line
We're not even in their sight
I'm just doing awful things
And I could never get my wings
But you don't have a feather missing
I am full of sorrow wishing
I could be right next to you
But I will never make it because

I've been lost and nothings working
You have answers still forthcoming
Everything you say has meaning
I will never make it because
I've got all my different reasons
All because I'm changing seasons
Maybe I'll find truth in fall
I will never make it because

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The last verse is in the booklet, but not in the song.
