Paint the Sky

Let me paint the sky with you
This is a night you won't forget
I've brought a brush for us
And a most unusual palette
The moonlight is our witness
The cicadas are our judge
As we unleash a burst of colours
On the skies above

Stroke by stroke, bit by bit
The image becomes clear
Apply a stroke for everything you claim that you hold dear
Let the sky become our canvas
Let it complete who you are
And as it's all covered in colours
Find your place among the stars

A mural of a memory
Each color its own distinct entity
A life in hues, shapes and shades, you can't fail to see
The setting sun in red
It burns so bright it almost blinds you with its
Diminishing light (diminishing light)
The silver linings that contained the storm
They kept the storm at bay
The clouds shifting forms like the fragile memories they swept away
To keep you sane, to keep you safe
Let's mix the past and present, the old and new
Embrace the twilight, be born anew

Stroke by stroke, bit by bit
The image becomes clear
Apply a stroke for everything you
Claim that you hold dear
Let the sky become our canvas
Let it complete who you are
And as it's all covered in colours
Find your place

Crimson flares for every truth I learned
Every moment that burned
Every moment that hurt
Every table I turned
Drown the night itself in ebony for the endless insomnia
Let the sleepless nights teach you who you really are
Be humble, ever stroke is a memory
Every blot is a scar
Let me capture a star for you
And paint it all black
So that it can disappear into the darkness
Like every dream that you had
Grey shades for the clouds
As they dissolve into nothingness
Like the ideals you held as a kid
You tried but you can't forget
The quiet moments, all by yourself
All alone in your bed
No reason to get up
No reason to not be dead
No reason to move on
This sky is all in your head
The sky is all in your head
It always was in your head
