Ian Hoke - I've Looked to the Sky and I've Found Nothing Lyrics

This black is beating red for the first time
Crawling its way into the depths of this boy's mind
But he bleeds a beating heart that's so innocent and pure
That is bound to be blackened for being fearful to die

This spiritual confinement is not what I bargained for
I had no idea that this is what you had in store
I never thought I'd have to sit and watch these bodies fall
I would just as soon hit the floor myself

I've looked to the sky and I've found nothing
I've looked to the sky and I've found

This boy's becoming more than a boy and he hates himself for it
He can run but in time he can't ignore it
He's no longer what he thought he should be
He's no longer what I thought he could be
And I can't find a way to get through

This place is catastrophic and I can't take anything
When my whole life revolves around this man who can't sing
For shit, he wishes to be everything he isn't
And I fear that because of that he won't push his limits
I can't say that I fear death
Because I'm dying for my life back

This man can't see two feet in front of him and
I can't unsee the broken miles ahead of him and
I don't know why but this red is fading black again and
Maybe it's his own fault or maybe it's a time filled with sin
I've looked to the sky and I've found

I don't know where I went wrong I'm
Only waiting for the dawn of
No tomorrows no today's
Because life through death's my only way out
I've looked to the sky and I've found nothing
I've looked to the sky and I've found

I'm a reflection of this person that I cannot save
I'm puppeteering for a life that I cannot control
Time keeps on beating me crashing wave after wave
I'm just as guilty as he is

This damp dark space is closing in around on me
That beating heart red is nowhere to be found
I can feel time's firm grip around his throat you see and
That beating heart red is nowhere to be found and I can't
Find it in me to ask the almighty one to find
The beating heart red that's nowhere to be found
Because I've seen it all before with the cruelty of time that stops
The beating heart red from being found

Don't let me let him die
Please don't let me let him die
Don't let me let him die
Please don't let me let him
