Gaping

Drop

Look up look up the sky is gone

Look up look up the sky is gone

Verse 1

I tilt my chin toward the roofline

Something huge has swallowed the afternoon

The air goes thin and tight

Every bird has quit its song

My hands forget their shape

I am small I am small I am nothing at all

Pre-Chorus

Brace brace brace

Plant my feet in the cracking ground

Brace brace brace

Nothing left to hold on

Chorus

The dark is opening its mouth

The dark is opening its mouth

Wide and patient overhead

Wide and patient overhead

I look up and I am swallowed too

Drop

Look up look up the sky is gone

Look up look up the sky is gone

Verse 2

Fences bend like drinking straws

The streetlamp dims to a pin

I count my breaths out loud

Seven then a broken eight

My knees are asking questions

My spine is giving answers slow

Pre-Chorus

Brace brace brace

Grit my teeth against the pull

Brace brace brace

Worst has come and worst will grow

Chorus

The dark is opening its mouth

The dark is opening its mouth

Wide and patient overhead

Wide and patient overhead

I look up and I am swallowed too

Bridge

Swallow the wire

Swallow the wire

Swallow the stone

Swallow the stone

I stand I stand I stand

Breakdown

Heavy heavy heavy sky

Heavy heavy heavy sky

Chorus

The dark is opening its mouth

The dark is opening its mouth

Wide and patient overhead

Wide and patient overhead

I look up and I am swallowed too

Drop

Look up look up the sky is gone

Look up look up the sky is gone

Look up look up the sky is gone
