Cloudless Skies
Cloudless Skies
By Kevin Robey

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
