latest track for the eight zero 2nd album/EP. august 18, 2023

lyrics

sent an angel to wash away the day

that brought the night

filled the air with morning stars
then watched them fade away
along came the blue
whose broad sky
would not answer what i asked
my body was a flame on fire
that burns inside until it rains again
all around me earthly white
but down i go
i'm not held in contempt
i was bitten by the tide
of my own pain
so i run to hide



if there is someone somewhere
then let them be free
let them touch the moon
let them paint the sky
let them dress the day in fire

the demon held me tight

he let me fly down
into the sun
i should have sworn that
he would never hurt you
now the days drift in two
words are flowing through
too short of breath the broken hour
my mistakes i did intend
the journey's end is in my hands 

to give you more
i'm feeling sorry for the saying
it will save us from ourselves
but here we are you and me
crying instead of listening to our broken song

praying for the flames
holding the line
too late in arriving

to burn the bridges that still stand 

burned with fire and rain


if there is someone somewhere
then let them be free
let them touch the moon
let them paint the sky
let them dress the day in fire
