Screaming at the Sky
Words by Bryon Bowers
The world's gonna eat you up
If you don't listen to it a little…
Put down your armor
and your angry eyes
So I can stop screaming'
At the quiet night skies
Stepped outside
To scream at the sky
she tried to help you
You shrugged when she died…
A youth of smiles
Now only angry eyes
Basic conventions
You refused To comply…
She tried her best
To mold you for the world
She's even angry with you
In my memory
They poked and probed
At your changing mind
Just to see what they could find
You were a swinging pendulum
Flattened to a stationary rock
By the doctor's medicine
She's gone now
But we're still here
I tried, I really did
But I failed
Had to come up for air
You had to swim on your own
Rips my heart apart
I couldn't help you
Maybe some day
We'll meet up again
At some point on the ocean's surface
Where there are no rip tides
pulling us down…
