lyrics

Cobalt dreams in sheltered minds
Passing, fleeting tries
Crimson fears with grinding teeth
Static, glowing eyes
Myrtle cries in deepest night
Biting back the shame
Copper visions of days long past
Where hope and regret are the same

Emerald nights in passing waves
Cold, haunting gaze
Lilac grips, softened ways
Holding on to names
Ruby trust in steady hands
Running out of time
Carmine sins to be redeemed
Could this be the end

When it comes to be the hour
Do you know what you will find
Now you better look for truth
In the color of the sky
I’ve been waiting for so long
To know if it’s the time
I’ve been waiting for so long
To see the color of the sky

Amber notes in ancient songs
Calling out “Return”
Jade attempts at pushing through
Quelled without a word
Sapphire hopes for brighter days
Praying light to guide
Cyan faith in something more
The color of the sky

You think you’re free
Well so did I
You wanna see
The color of the sky
It’s all you know
It’s all we’ve got
Don’t turn back now
We have just one last shot
The sun is shining down
On the blackened Earth below
And the ashes in the field
Let something greener grow
By the time tomorrow comes
They will all have walked away
But the color of the sky
Is prettiest today
