IQ - Ryker Skies lyrics

I'm reeling, fighting for breath Running on empty A fortress carved out of steel Black and surrounding No other survivors, the walls without end, So where have I come to? Welcome, hero, to Ryker Skies Where all your hopes are stored You can leave responsibilities in ruins at the door Get it knocked into your thick skull It's really not that hard It's a cast iron binding covenant And this is just the start There are insults and injuries You've heaped upon yourself But you play the victim While you pile the blame on someone else So before I state my intention To live or die I command your total attention In Ryker Skies They're unspoken, these accidents, They leave a bitter twist It's a no-win situation But I know you can't resist In walks Trouble without a sound A deal across his face He's a won't-stop, screw-top work of art Mechanical disgrace So be sure you cast not a shadow As you walk by No, you won't be chasing no rainbows In Ryker Skies You'll never fly There was a time It flashed on by Nothing to break the iron crown Tearing imagination down Strung out and overwhelmed I've had more than enough The wings of bu*terflies Are made of sterner stuff With all those years to k** I'm yours until... So before I state my intention To live or die I command your total attention In Ryker Skies You'll never fly There was a time, it flashed on by In Ryker Skies
