Purple Sky (feat. Sherida S. Sharpe)

Hold your breath

Sink in the cold

Grow to be old

As you've been told

Forget 'bout death

And the mold

Let life unfold

The dice have rolled

Surely they'll say, you've drifted away

But you'll always stay, the day I turned to clay

Surely they'll say, you've drifted away

But you'll always stay, the day I turned to clay

Don't be unkind

And mind you swore

To find the shore

Forget the score

Loose the bind

Grind the cure

Inclined for sure

Blind nevermore

Surely they'll say, you've drifted away

But you'll always stay, the day I turned to clay

Surely they'll pause, drive in their claws

Turn you over to their cause, fail to rub off your flaws

Choose a gift

Life leads to naught

Pick up the fight

With all your might

End of the shift

Swift as you've been taught

Lift up your hopes

You might get caught

Surely they'll say, you've drifted away

But you'll always stay, the day I turned to clay

Surely they'll pause, drive in their claws

Win you over to their cause, fail to rub off your flaws

Surely you'll die, as naked to the eye

As sure as the end is nigh under a purple sky.
