Sheltering Sky

It was a gift to forget what I said 
'Cause what you heard 
Those were just empty words 
Like a blast it's a telling telegraph from the past 
Was it the empty things 
That are gonna last? 
And it made me free 
The way I want to fly 
In your sheltering sky 
Redemption was like 
A ticker tape parade 
Keep my mouth shut smile and wave 
With a fistful of luck this is a stickup 
So now you now the world is saved 
From lipstick boobs and babes 
And it made me free
So the words hurt and my head said 
You got the fire lit 
So now I get it 
I'll live for you if you live for me too
