I heard the devil speaking, Feeding back through every scar I have received And I am not alarmed as I should be Enraptured by the narrative My pain would preach And I thought the voice was me Thought the voice was me I'd give it up the past is gone Can I go on blaming God for all they've done? But there's a problem in the garden The serpent robs me of the breath That held the song That told me I was wrong Told me I was wrong You better know the words you're gonna say Skywriter, Skywriter You're never gonna get a second take Skywriter I brought a pen into the tempest Thought up a word to calm the storm When a sea of troubles rose against me, Disarmed me of my sword And left me stranded My only view the narrow lens Of a kid abandoned and alone Left trying to contend against the dragons Mighty leviathan I wrack my mind to find the sentence That could strike them dead Leave them for dead You better know the words you're gonna say Skywriter, Skywriter You're never gonna get a second take Skywriter You're waiting for the wind to come and Wash the words away Skywriter, Skywriter You're praying for a storm to break And cover your mistakes Skywriter, Skywriter You better know the words you're gonna say Skywriter, Skywriter You're never gonna get a second take Skywriter
