Grey sky

from It's Only The Apocalypse, But I Like It by Atlantean Sparrows

lyrics

In a second. The things I knew where blown away, But now I’m learning. Of all uncertain. Of careless waiting just for you, Always for you. I try to walk faster, But the decaying leaves of fall, Just drag me down, deep underground.

On one of these ordinary days, A grey sky will deliver what’s in store for you, And I think that you may see. But I don’t know.

Thinking it twice, Just a tiny bit of sunlight would be enough, To turn all things upside down. As we all can see, Lightning after lightning, Must have sealed our weary fate, As it breathes firebranded on those darkest clouds.

Found a new way, Run people, run, The first raindrops touch my forehead, And it looks it’s gonna pour, pour, pour. Oh, please someone take me home.
Cos’ I don’t know.

Taking your fat chance for granted. Has given us more misery than you could ever think. Just open your eyes and look around you. All that life that felt so good, Is quickly retreating, beaten, By a bloody cobblestone. The one we liked to sit upon. And if you ever leave this place alive, Don’t forget to spread the news, That the storm is here to stay,
But I don’t know...
