lyrics

The Lonely Sky
by John Beccia

Everybody's gone, the party's over
Morningtime has come, you're feelin' sober
Thinkin' what is done as all the tears are falling from your eyes

All the deepest fears you held, they came true
Alcohol, it rules the hell that made you
hurt your one and only, crying here under the lonely sky

CHORUS - Crying......Crying......
You hurt your one and only, crying here under the lonely sky
Crying......Crying......
You hurt your one and only, crying here under the lonely sky


Why does every little thing upset you
Feeling like the world is out to get you
Abuse is never cured, and all the pain you have endured won't die

You're the victim of the hand that struck you
Hate is like a parasite that sucks
You hurt your one and only, crying here under the lonely sky
REPEAT CHORUS

She has always been right there beside you
Still you can't escape the pain inside you
So obvious the reasons are you've always known exactly why

Now your hear the screaming of this silence
And you know the consequence of violence
Try to break the cycle of this craziness before you die
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
