Cloudless Skies

Cloudless Skies By Kevin Robey March 23, 2014 I've tried to live life the way they want me to But I was falling behind, I was losing my mind I've tried to show you the way I really am But I'm so far out of line, now I'm just flying blind I've tried to grab those sweaters by the thread But I was losing my grip, I just fell off the edge I've tried to hide all the blood I ever shed But they stitched up my wounds, told me I should be dead Is this the life I've been fighting for? It doesn't seem that beautiful to me Am I wrong to ask for something more? Still chasing shreds of my sanity I made a promise back when I was young But I forgot who I was, I abandoned my way I made a promise back when I was strong But it wasn't enough, my foundation decayed I made some plans that I just gave away But I thought I would die before I woke up today I made some plans that never stood a chance But I had brighter eyes, bluer than cloudless skies Where is the life I've been searching for? All the things I ever thought it could be Is there still time to find something more? With open doors I'm still searching for a key [listening to "ask yourself", by Foster the People]

thank you so much! that means a lot. and yes we all have demons to face in life. but to me, fighting that fight makes the sun shine that much brighter on the good days.
