Painted Sky

from Painted Sky EP by Speaking In Italics

lyrics

A grievance in me pulling down, crippling.
Away from all that awful sound
It's deafening
Searching for a way to wake
To see the light
Beleaguered bodies all around
Settling, screaming.

Move in slow motion
A ruse, a painted sky.
Choose sad devotion
Believing there's no other way.
Burn the book, start again.

We move in slow motion.
Hands over eyes and ears.
To the wretched go the spoils -
Just toe the line.

You just stare, pay the fare.
Don't you dare to bite the hand that feeds you.
Walking blind, fall in line
Don't deny the fortune fathers died for.
Another dawn to start the race,
Discard a friend to save face.
Over and over the days are the same.
Another dawn to start the race,
Discard a friend to save face.
Over and over.

You don't dare to pull back the wool.
You don't care for your neighbour.

You just stare, pay the fare.
You don't dare.
Walking blind fall in line.
