lyrics

A shoebox room to hold you cold and creaky
With nothing left inside that’s alive
Just the sound of the sick screaming silence
To keep your short breath nice and heavy
To get worried about the ringing in your ears again

The branches grow awfully close to your window
Which doesn’t help the fact that you aren’t good in small spaces
But you will manage for now
Cause you still can see the sky while you sleep
And it turns yellow every night

The sky turns yellow
The sky turns yellow every night
The sky turns yellow
The sky turns yellow every night while I’m asleep

A small room can make it hard to breath through the night
At least now you notice the oceans in the walls
And you have a place to get some rest

A place to miss your family
And your friends

And the sky turns yellow again and again
And the sky turns yellow
