Paint The Sky

Without you I am lost

Your words a calm embrace

I gave up everything for the chance

And these scars are my reward

Tell me what it takes

To be the man I want to be

Tell me the words to speak

So I can do no wrong

The streets are calling to us

The expanse where I lay to rest

So close you see the whites of my eyes

What lies behind is yours

Your words ring in my ears

Your touch burns my skin

Let thoughts paint the sky

So I can feel my worth

Let your fears be winged

Take to flight to catch me

The land the ocean the distance

The beauty of creation lies ahead

Tear off your skin

To reveal fragile bones

That lie underneath

You're so easy to break

As a spark to scorched earth

One small flame leads to fires

"Make not dreams my master"

"Make not thoughts my aim"

"I have met with triumph and disaster"

"And treated them (just) the same"

"Bear to hear the truth I've spoken"

"Mine is the earth and everything within"

We were the fallen

We take to flight
