Lyrics

Its not like I want it back again
its not like I want the sky to open
and rain down visions of black again
but now that the sun has finally broken through
there’s not a lot I can do
there’s not a lot I can do
the sky is perfectly blue

The wind comes
whips the trees bare again
the wind comes exposing secrets of the form
part of me wants to be there again
restless naked howling for the dawn

I’m not invoking a storm
I’m not invoking a storm
the air is perfectly warm

Its not like I want it back again
Chaos can find another lover
its not like I’m wearing all black again
the days come sweet but are they cutting through?

there’s not a lot I can do
there’s not a lot I can do
the sky is perfectly blue

If its not love

then make it pain

Not some sort of half life I can’t explain

and if its peace

then make it real

not this sort of numbness that I cannot feel

take all my joy

but leave me my fears

this sort of half life

bores me to tears

so bring me rapture

and bring me bliss

O! take it all away but don’t leave me this

its not like I want it back again

Its not like I want my heart ripped open

in some sort of vicious attack again

but now that the sun has finally broken through

theres not a lot I can do,

there’s not a lot I can do

the sky is perfectly blue.
