lyrics

i saved fallen snow
on my backbone
i saved fallen snow
from the front row

forsaking tomorrow
slow burning today
the sky is falling up

i saved shards of hope
in my sky blue coat
i saved drops of light
you paved paradise

i saved your mistakes
etched them into my skin
the sky is falling up

i sang like thunder
spilled anger like fire
the sky is falling up

please don’t mourn me

skin departing bone
ice abandons snow
my skin’s departing bone
pain instead of snow

a choir is spilling
the morning sun
the sky is falling up

archiving blindness
in meticulous ways
the sky is falling up

sweating bits of time
leaking pools of kind
dissolving bits of spine
drowning in sublime

skin departing bone
ice abandons snow
my skin’s departing bone

you never saw me
and i never called out
the sky is falling up

foiled by indifference
melted by greed
please don’t mourn for me
please don’t mourn me
