As far out of reach as one can go From some smoldered starlight, to sleep tight and start right Above solid ground. I'm gaining insight And she follows me. We lock arms to keep all our lies With my head. Happy mediums light up the sky As words fall from the Black Cloud I think I've finally figured you out I know we were young, I said, you'd let me either down or drown But you were all I had. We had to grow slowly for the road. Take whatever is filling your mind This time, my dear, is the last to Be alone, be alone
2.
How about another turning point for us to Walk for miles until I met you To see that face within the dream; I'd Purify the lack of time just to try To keep that voice alive. Oh You can show me just how We walk, we talk, you still say "I hear your steps above me now that I'm burning for the sake of burning." An attempt can only multiply while Trying to keep that voice alive Breathe, Oh I wish that I was Without desire; I'd love to Feel empty; An empty promise: You'll never love again.
3.
And you're off into the light Good-good bye oh sweet,sweet strife You're lovely lifeless body sleeps under the bridge And I pass through For the sight of you Carry me now in your unrestraint She stands out to the faint Breeze by, defeat the lie that It's time to run, but she says don't Even you know not to stop So why be gone when All that's left Is your smile
4.
You've gone away thief in the night Face of pearls, pearls of life Please don't stay; even so you are The Spring of Springs and Prince of Price All the same, all the same are The chances of hope that you hide in your Kingdom are The laughters of you from the tongue of above or A calming, sudden hand can bring her back, can bring me back You just materialize; I'll take the lies You've closed your eyes to your other life I'll leave for the best of us all For one chance to fall into your arms
5.
I'm so low You were nice to know You were nice to know You were nice to know The sky still shakes where you stood It shakes where you stood I'll escape for good I'll escape for good I'm so low You were nice to know You were nice to know You're nice to know You're nice to know You're nice to know
6.
You went slow out the door What am I for anymore? She's no life saver, just some thoughts after thoughts I want to drown in January, the ice above never melting To calm you down by February. Your loose chains are tightenedto me now All the roses, 26 for you to the ends of the world I'd love to return Your green skin brings out the best of you Your whispers are all I have left of you I hope you saved a place for me Forget the cold, you're always welcoming Take a break until February. You'll be same never happy Read through the back of my head with you plasmic brain

Sky Quirk 04:40
You're in the midst of us all now They've tied the strings. I'm settled down now Oh voice, oh voice of Black Cloud Hear him now. Hear him cry out Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking You never roar, but it's just so sweet In my ear, breathe eternity In my ear, breathe eternity Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Down we go Break the horizon then Open up the fields of cloud Centerfold, you're not standing there You're falling out of reach Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh the sky is shaking Oh my feet are aching There's nothing worth searching for
8.
Even vultures cry out to Him above And tambourines proclaim God is love The trumpets aim for the skies The words I believe in, the words I believe in die. You'll wish me well in due time I've search and I've searched and She is mine I'm never stepping towards the light. The words I believe in, the words I believe in die. Do as I do and not as I say Don't live in the Ozone Don't live in the Ozone Don't live in the Ozone You're shaking and breaking the dark I'm escaping reality and falling apart As trumpets aim for the skies The words I believe in, the words I believe in die.

And it starts with a shock One wrong turn; seconds stop Kiss the ground; only take Your pretty clothes to the grave but Sure you've lost all Your bandages but you can only say "I'm only waiting to take off I'm only waiting to run." Bring your holy ghost And I'll bring you Just give me one clean cut I've traded off the best Forgive me Forgive me Off and off with our heads That seem to root to our chests then go Out of mouths, words like flies. They only matter when we fall It wouldn't take anything for I'll see you. Just give me one more evening and I'll bring you Forgive me Forgive me Oh take me

about

I mean this started it all for me. I was really going wild starting with this album. It's based on a real guy, Jack Webber. However, I've added much more to his story and made it more personal. Also, all the lyrics go together as one poem. They can be read backwards, too. It's supposed to go on forever. Also uncomfortable for me to listen to anymore, but not as much as "Huh?". That album makes me literally sick.
