The Banner - Skies Go Black lyrics

She looks down to her side, it calls out through her pain This girl will make them famous, they don't even know her name And just how much can one girl stand Before she takes a step And how much weight can one back bare Before it breaks the straps Through the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chest Those held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fall He looks down to his side, it calls out through his pain This boy will make them famous, they don't even know his name There was a time when his face shined his smile could fight a room But now its black beneath this cloud heartbreak learned much too soon And just how much can one boy stand Before he takes a step And how much weight can one back bare Before it breaks the straps Through the years I've took it off and shrugged it off my chest Those held close, who know her well, can use the shadow fall Beneath the tree, where I once lay, the flowers gone from the bed where I once played Counting clouds which danced for me Skies go black I pray for rain, to clear my face I pray for wings to fly me from this place I look to the sky, no answers come to me Dear God how far I've fallen How could this happen to me
