Turn off the Sky

Peel away that pretty bark

Take deep route in my soul

Cuz it’s 2am in east New York and I’m cooking all alone

We were reckless for the gods to see

You spiked me to your bed

And you crafted red hot friendships with the prowlers in my head

No I won’t turn off the sky

Or steal the ocean’s blue

And I’m barely what I am today

Ain’t that good enough for you

Well these handcuffs, they don’t fit so good

This red light lasts too long

Love and fear in a half-lit dance

The seedlings of sweet song

You wrapped me on the knuckles

Kissed the demons on my skin

And you dragged me to the water

Then you drowned me for the win

No I won’t turn off the sky

Or steal the ocean’s blue

And I’m barely what I am today

Ain’t that good enough for you

The trailhead of our journey

Lacks the signage of these times

But the pilot light of goodness

Burns stubborn against our crime

Peel away that pretty bark

Take deep route in my soul

Cuz it’s 3am in east New York and I’m sleeping all alone

No I won’t turn off the sky (oh, oh, oh)

Or steal the ocean’s blue

And I’m barely what I am today

Ain’t that good enough for you

No I won’t turn off the sky

Or steal the ocean’s blue

And I’m barely what I am today

Ain’t that good enough for you

(Mmm, mmm)
