A Burning Sky

The sky was on fire

The clouds turned to dust

I have memories of

The taste of sticky sweet ash

Filling my lungs

The sky was on fire

I was burning it down

The sky was on fire

Cause you were buried in the ground

Embers of a bloody dawn filled the air

I wanted to leave

Felt like nobody cared

The sky was on fire

How brightly it burned

Rain drops ignite

And fall to the earth

Flames brushed the stars

I stand afar

Watching the sky burn

Wasn't sad but I cried

There was a void inside my mind

Everything went numb

Heart began to drum

You were dead and you were gone

Yeah, you left me here alone

The blaze began to spread

As I cried in my bed

Nightmares filled my mind

Wished it was I that died

Underneath the burning sky
