Intro – slow shimmering guitar] Slow shimmer of the night Falling over everything I look out toward the horizon But there’s nothing left to see Nothing there Everything is gone Like the whole world disappeared Before the breaking dawn [Pre-Chorus] What we face is unthinkable What we lost won’t make a sound Loneliness has captured me And it keeps on holding me down [Chorus] Dark sky Dark sky What keeps holding us down? Is it something inside of us Or something we haven’t found? Dark sky Dark sky Stretching endlessly Until I see that single star Staring back at me [Verse 2] Every shadow has a secret Every silence knows my name I keep searching through the darkness For somebody else to blame Is it us? Is it something we can’t see? Is the night closing around us Or is the darkness coming from me? [Pre-Chorus] What we face is unthinkable Still, I’m standing on this ground Loneliness has wrapped its hands Around the hope I haven’t found [Chorus] Dark sky Dark sky What keeps holding us down? Is it something inside of us Or something we haven’t found? Dark sky Dark sky Stretching endlessly Until I see that single star Staring back at me [Bridge – bass and drums build] One small light Cutting through the black One small reason Not to turn my back If that star can hold its place Through the coldest part of night Maybe everything isn’t gone Maybe we’re still worth the fight [Final Chorus] Dark sky Dark sky You won’t keep holding me down There was something inside of me I had almost forgotten about Dark sky Dark sky You’re not all that I can see Because that star upon the horizon Is still staring back at me [Outro – cool, restrained] Dark sky Slowly losing ground Dark sky You can’t hold me down
