Under Blackened Skies

All I ever knew when you left was suddenly taken
My skies no longer blue and my faith mortally shaken
Pain from my pores meet with the screams of sharpened cries
Will I have to live my life under blackened skies?
Prick my skin with your pin, do me in
But don't forget to say you care for me
Take your turn, make me burn, no concern
But don't forget to say you're scared for me
Tables turn like seasons change
Ups and downs of passing years arrange
Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes
I realize I live my life under blackened skies
Under blackened skies
Crying out for a savior but my screams nobody hears
All I need is your shelter and the strength to conquer my fears
I don't think I'm strong enough to make it through the night
So I have to live my life under blackened skies
Sing my song, do me wrong, don't be long
But don't forget to say you don't need me
Feed my pain, I'm drowning, please don't leave
You think I'm blind but I don't want to see
Tables turn like seasons change
Ups and downs of passing years arrange
Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes
I realize I live my life under blackened skies
Under blackened skies
Lost beyond the horizon, my sun drifting away
Swallowed up by the blackness, no light to help me feel safe
The shadows start to whisper but they only tell me lies
Now I have to live my life under blackened skies
[guitar solo]
Hearts they break and shatter, bleed me dry
The pain and fear shows damage from your lies
Oh, tables turn like seasons change
Ups and downs of passing years arrange
Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes
I realize I live my life under blackened skies
Under blackened skies
All I ever knew when you left was suddenly taken
My skies no longer blue and my faith mortally shaken
Pain from my pores meet with the screams of sharpened cries
Will I have to live my life under blackened skies?
