Beyond The Sky

I never meant to say I love you

I never meant to lead you on

But sometimes pride can get the best of me

And drag the rest of me along

We leave behind the stains of battle

We count the dead and grieve the loss

A civil war without a victor

I never really cared about the loss

If there’s a town beyond the sky

Where they greet you by and by

I will stay down here and hide

No, I will never meet you in the light

I found the door that leads to nothing

I crossed the threshold once or twice

But there was nothing in the nothingness

Not just the absence of light

There was a whisper in the shadows

There was writing on the wall

And soon the curtains had been drawn apart

I braced my body for the fall

If there’s a town beyond the sky

Where they greet you by and by

I will stay down here and hide

No, I will never meet you in the light

Please forgive me if I’m broken

It wasn’t you who lit the spark

I’ve glued the pieces back together

As many times as I’ve fallen apart

If there’s a town beyond the sunrise

I hope they let you through the door

But me, I’m walking down the darker road

At least I know what lies in store
