LYRICS:
The sky is fallin
Human race that we are
Has left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
All in a moment, I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much to to hate

For so long
I saw only wrong
But now to remind
It's a waste of time

Close your eyes and see the sky is fallin

I wanted something
Nothing, blank, I don't know
It's all deflecting
Stones are easy to throw
All in a moment, I noticed
Hours, days left behind
One wasted, useless
Selfless, none of a kind

For so long
I saw only wrong
Now to remind
Not to go back to the low
That has drained my life so long

Close your eyes and see the sky is fallin
