Lost Songwriter - Paper Skies

Painting over the sunrise
Plastic people with plastic lives
All the ills of the world disguised
And packaged just for me
Drawing over the storm clouds
Can't see the lightning but I hear the sound
If I was outside would it be so loud
Or echo just for me
There's a smudge on the rainbow
Misplaced shadows on the city below
Are there really other places to go
Or only where I am now
What about all the bad things
All the people killing everything
Are they supposed to be my test
Or just others failing theirs
Am I destined to die fast
Every breath counted until my last
Then watch a movie of my past
To tell me what went wrong

Paper skies
You're telling everybody lies
Paper skies
You're telling everybody lies
Paper skies
You're making everybody blind
Paper skies
You're making everybody blind

Snowing over the hillside
Paper snowflakes from cardboard skies
All the green of the grass disguised
Or rubbed out just for me
See the birds in the morning
But they're always scared of everything
If I was patient could I see their strings
Or is someone pulling mine
What about all the bad things
All those millions without anything
Are those people born in poverty
Just to test my guilt

Do you believe
God is looking after us
Or is his real job
Keeping the numbers down

Paper skies
You're telling everybody lies
Paper skies
You're telling everybody lies
Paper skies
You're making everybody blind
Paper skies
You're making everybody blind
