Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1997

lyrics

sitting under my blue sky of deception
the colors run every time it rains
wrought brought forth fashioned from inception
my own hands and i take all the blame

as the light goes out
darkness with her bated breath
waits out on periphery of the camp fire
decadence and violence we do best

burned out face down in the gutter
lowest point i could find to ground zero
roll back alibis and skies are crushing
do we paint with much too black a brush

rock and roll what is it any more
youth profound or profane to endure
passion in the back seat or at the foot of the cross
going going gone and finally lost
