Verse 1
I see the city in the dark, far away,
Drowned in the underworld, where the light won't stay.
Towering buildings try to touch the air,
Rise with concrete but never get there.
Skyscrapers stretch into the endless blue,
Searching for a hug, but they only hit the ground.
A ceaseless chase for those who want to climb,
But they've lost the reason why...
Pre-Chorus
Life runs after what it cannot see,
Projects its best life into the "maybe."
But the illusion of the top will fall,
The intangible won't answer the call...
Chorus
The sky isn't for sale!
You can't buy what's in the air!
The city's drowning
In the infinite it longs to claim.
The sky isn't for sale!
Tomorrow's where it all will be...
Verse 2
Pieces of everything blur in the haze,
Wreckage of love from the party that's passed.
The cup of poison under the piano's dry,
A sack of hate hurled into the war.
Dust of reason scattered on the ground,
Grains of promise that could have grown,
Seeds lost in the sea of concrete flood,
Smokestacks exhaling soot above the roof.
They burn the wood, they spew the gas,
Swear the smoke will reach the sky, will get there at last...
Bridge
They even launched a spaceship...
In the futile hope of touching the blue...
But the mystery kept the key,
Hidden in the secrets of a grand old chest...
I insist, the warning is clear:
Only tomorrow will the access be free.
Chorus
The sky isn't for sale!
You can't buy what's in the air!
Drowning
In the infinite it longed to touch.
The sky isn't for sale!
Only tomorrow will set us free...
Outro
It's far from me...
And the sky... remains an untouchable garden
