Skies Go Black

She looks down to her side, it calls out through her pain

This girl will make them famous, they don't even know her name

And just how much can one girl stand

Before she takes a step

And how much weight can one back bare

Before it breaks the straps

Through the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chest

Those held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fall

He looks down to his side, it calls out through his pain

This boy will make them famous, they don't even know his name

There was a time when his face shined his smile could fight a room

But now its black beneath this cloud heartbreak learned much too soon

And just how much can one boy stand

Before he takes a step

And how much weight can one back bare

Before it breaks the straps

Through the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chest

Those held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fall

Beneath the tree, where I once lay, the flowers gone from the bed where I once played

Counting clouds which danced for me

Skies go black

I pray for rain, to clear my face

I pray for wings to fly me from this place

I look to the sky, no answers come to me

Dear God how far I've fallen

How could this happen to me
