Lyrics for Bruised Sky
Song by Poppy, Sumerian

[Intro]
There’s no hope to come for you
There’s no one left to get close to
Too long stuck in my chest
Can’t keep it under my breath

[Verse 1]
The only way to cope
Is to see you as a disease
Insisting to resolve
Resisting every prophecy
Get it off of me

[Pre-Chorus]
And the moon is awake tonight
I’m collecting the names under the bruised sky

[Chorus]
I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head
And running around again
Don’t try to tell me it’s as good as it’s gonna get
The feeling won’t leave ’til darknеss takes me
Don’t forsake mе

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
How do I numb myself
When God is preying on the weak?
Instill the fear to fall
But it’ll never work on me
Question everything
In the wake
Felt my whole world starting to shake
The cradle starts to break
And the red pools over me and turns to white

[Pre-Chorus]
And the moon is awake tonight
I’m collecting the names under the bruised sky

[Chorus]
I know the ending, it keeps playing out in my head
And running around again
Don’t try to tell me it’s as good as it’s gonna get
The feeling won’t leave ’til darkness takes me
Don’t forsake me
Darkness takes me
Don’t forsake me

[Outro]
Bathing in the light
Fend for your final form
The feeling you obscured
Will force you now to learn
Bathing in the light
There’s nothing left to hide
Then never say a word
Under the bruised sky
