Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god
Silver Lining
The silver lining was erased
From the cloud,
So I've nothing to look for.
My tired eyes are filled with dust
From constantly looking for
A silver lining that doesn't exist.
There was only just midnight sky,
And glossy stars;
To me, they look like shiny tears
And I want to extract them
From the sky,
Swallow them up like wishes.
Past the stars, I've trained
Myself to look,
Until all I see is a black blanket of dark.
And I grab it,
Wrap myself up tightly in it,
Allow myself to be the sky for a moment.
But the black blue sky
Becomes my new hair
And I want to take it with me everywhere.
Traces of me, everywhere.
My whisper, the wind.
Even after being such,
I'll still look to the clouds
To try to catch a glimpse of
That elusive silver lining
That I'm not supposed to see.

From the cloud,
So I've nothing to look for.
My tired eyes are filled with dust
From constantly looking for
A silver lining that doesn't exist.

And glossy stars;
To me, they look like shiny tears
And I want to extract them
From the sky,
Swallow them up like wishes.
Past the stars, I've trained

Until all I see is a black blanket of dark.
And I grab it,
Wrap myself up tightly in it,
Allow myself to be the sky for a moment.
But the black blue sky
Becomes my new hair
And I want to take it with me everywhere.
Traces of me, everywhere.
My whisper, the wind.
Even after being such,
I'll still look to the clouds
To try to catch a glimpse of
That elusive silver lining
That I'm not supposed to see.
