Lyrics for Bruised Sky

There's no one to come for you There's no one left to get close to Too long stuck in my chest Can't keep it under my breath The only way to cope Is to see you as a disease Insisting to resolve Resisting every prophecy Get it off of me And the moon is awake tonight I'm collecting the names under the bruised sky I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head And running around again Don't try to tell me it's as good as it's gonna get The feeling won't leave 'til darkness takes me Don't forsake me (oh, oh, oh, oh) How do I numb myself When God is praying on the weak? Instill the fear to fall But it'll never work on me Question everything In the wake Felt my whole world starting to shake The cradle starts to break And the red pools over me And turns to white And the moon is awake tonight I'm collecting the names under the bruised sky I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head And running around again Don't try to tell me it's as good as it's gonna get The feeling won't leave 'til darkness takes me Don't forsake me (darkness takes me, don't forsake me) Breathing in the light Fend for your final form The feeling you obscured Will force you now to learn Bathing in the light There's nothing left to hide Then never say a word Under the bruised sky
