The Color of the Sky
by Thrice

Album: Horizons - East

Verse 1
My first and foremost memory
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
It circumscribed the city- they said beyond it nothing dwelt at all
But I came to wonder if the stories all were true
So one night I made my mind up- I resolved that I would find the passage through

Verse 2
And as I made my plans
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys
Like why the roads were all dead ends-
Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky?
And why did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?
When I was through I lit my lamp
With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet

Chorus
And I don't know the way
But I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take

Verse 3
As the stars begin to fade
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in
It rakes over my tongue
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin
And I see the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn-
The brilliance overwhelms me
Leaves me wondering what new world I'm even on

Chorus
And I don't know the way
But I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take

Outro
And I don't know the way
But I know that I belong out here-
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out across a new frontier-
A new horizon with each eager step I take
