Runaway Skies

Lost in a rhythm of a movement unnamed
Shadows on the wall keep on gently taunting
Mirrors of a stranger silent and bathing
Smile climbs wide but no one's watching

Tried to hold the light but it slipped through my hands
Everything's begun to feel like sinking sand

So I dive past the edge of the map
Looking for the place where the silence was found
Leave my name in the dust, let it fade with the time
Baby, I'm on my knees in the runaway skies

Clock is ticking like a spoken confession
Counting every breath like a low-edged question
Everyone says you'll be fine, just wait
But even they can feel the heart's lucky hit

So I built a world in the back of my mind
Where the rain feels soft and the hurts are behind

So I walk through the door of my home
As the wind whispers what my soul has become
Leave my tears in the tide, let the flow now decide
Baby, I'm on my knees in the runaway skies

Leave my tears in the tide, let the flow now decide
Baby, I'm on my knees in the runaway skies

Maybe I, maybe I'm broken just far from the shore
Maybe I'm searching for something worth more
Than bills and attitudes, noise in the skies
I just want to breathe in the runaway skies

And if I don't go back, let the stars be my sign
Tell the world I lived, I just needed the time
To learn how to feel, or maybe just try
Maybe I'm on my knees in the runaway skies
