Exceptional please check back for recording (coming shortly) Blue Sky by SimianSavant Write a Song contest entry

VERSE 1 summer skies are blue why can't I be too waitin' on the rain that's overdue strainin' for the view everyone in queue hidin' from the rain is nothing new CHORUS no time to burn the clouds away freeze the sun for one more day breathe the dust out of the ground feel the moon go round and round VERSE 2 secrets no one knew in eyes so green and blue clear by day, the night a witches' brew blind on your debut there's an empty pew you're sleepin' at the wake when we walk through CHORUS no time to burn the clouds away freeze the sun for one more day breathe the dust out of the ground feel the moon go round and round no one to burn the clouds away freeze the sun for one more day what's never lost will not be found what's never dry cannot be drowned dream the dead out of the ground when the moon is round Recognized Author Notes NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR: Song demo recording in progress -- I will send it along to those who review this when it becomes available -- it is much more powerful with the music. I just got back from a long road trip and only had time to submit the lyrics. This song is about all the kids I grew up with who died in early adulthood from drug ODs, mainly from Chinese fentanyl. The drug epidemic claims 100,000 lives in the US every year -- that's more than all suicides and car accidents combined. Where I grew up, everyone across socioeconomic strata knows multiple people who died and families who have been destroyed by addiction. The title "Blue Sky" is a reference to the name of a methamphetamine product in the well-known TV series "Breaking Bad". The image above of the meth from the show is displayed with attribution.
