Swollen Skies Lyrics

She's stumbling through the dark

She walks in and out of time

Another night she's gonna be in this terror

The man hands her a dime

The domestic war of leaving

Can you see the scars on her arm?

Her flowered dress falls to the floor again

She ain't saying no to his harm

Her tears are painting sunsets

Her laugh is grief and lust

She'll never fall in love with someone

She wanna be where you are

Looking out for the stars

Ending this war

When you're keeping her in your arms

Sheltering her broken body

You make her believe, you are uncovering lies

But will she be paralyzed by the demons of the night?

Beneath swollen skies

Beneath swollen skies

Her skin is soft as linen

Her lips are blood and flesh

She ain't following the sun anymore

Is she a misbegotten woman or a mess?

The domestic war of leaving

Moaning, anger and fear

The despot lays a hand on her face

"If you kill me, I'll reappear"

Her tears are painting sunsets

Her laugh is grief and lust

She'll never fall in love with someone

Here's to his wicked beliefs of what love is

Here's to the bedroom you filled with your death

I remember your early days when you weren't lingering

Where are you hiding?

Are you smiling?

She wanna be where you are

Looking out for the stars

Ending this war

When you're keeping her in your arms

Sheltering her broken body

You make her believe, you are uncovering lies

But will she be paralyzed by the demons of the night?

You make her believe, you are uncovering lies

But will she be paralyzed by the demons of the night?

Beneath swollen skies

Beneath swollen skies

Beneath swollen skies

Beneath swollen skies
