Dark Skies
Brick Mortar Lyrics

Dark skies, deeper than the darkest kind
The sky is dark and seems to be getting darker.

Take a little look inside
Reflect on what is happening within yourself.

Redder than the reddest types
There is a deep feeling of anger.

I can smell a wet rain
A storm is brewing, metaphorically or literally.

Smaller than the smallest kind
Feeling insignificant and unimportant.

I begin to head myself
Starting to think about my own thoughts.

Acting like I feel just fine
Putting on a facade to hide how I really feel.

Feeling got me feeling
Emotions are overwhelming.

I... I can tell
I know deep inside.

I was born... I was born to lose
I feel like I'm destined to fail no matter what.

No more crying
Stop feeling sorry for myself or others.

How we let it go this far?
Questioning how things have reached this point.

Looking what they do outside
Observing others and their actions.

Everytime you close your eyes
Constantly thinking about something.

Maybe you should go and fail
Taking a risk and not worrying about failure.

And difference of a different kind
Embracing the differences that make us unique.

Or you could always close your eyes
Ignoring reality and avoiding your problems.

Feeling got me feeling like I′m singing again
Emotions are driving creativity in music.

Now I'm thinking in the bed, in the freedom
Lying in bed and thinking freely.

I got a head stucked still
Feeling unproductive and stagnant.

Tripping over my beating
Fumbling over my own thoughts and emotions.

I′m on the parkway quicker than I′ve been in the evening
Moving quickly towards something at night.

'Cause I was born to lose
My destiny is to experience failure.

Dark skies, boys try to pull me down
Others are bringing negativity into my life.

I can only shine so bright
I am limited in how much I can achieve in this situation.

Brighter at the darkest times
Finding the silver lining and positivity in difficult situations.
