Blue Sky Riot — Doom Machine

Verse 1

Streetlights flicker, morning gray,
Another cloud to hide the day,
Used to run beneath the sun,
Now it feels like everybody’s on the run.

Headlines screaming, “Don’t ask why,”
While another trail cuts through the sky,
People working, people tired,
Living like the whole world’s wired.

Pre-Chorus

And I don’t wanna live this way,
Watching all the colors fade,
We were born beneath the light —
So why’s it feel so cold tonight?

Chorus

Bring back the blue sky,
Bring back the daylight,
I wanna feel the sun on my face again.
No more silence,
No more hiding,
We gotta start believing we can change this.

Whoa-oh-oh!
Hear the city singing —
Whoa-oh-oh!
We’re still dreaming.
Bring back the blue…
Bring back the blue sky.

Verse 2

Kids draw pictures colored gray,
Like they forgot the old blue days,
Everybody’s looking down,
At another warning broadcast all around.

But there’s a fire in the streets tonight,
People waking up and asking why,
And maybe hope’s a dangerous thing,
But it still makes broken people sing.

Pre-Chorus 2

And I still believe there’s something real,
Something no one else can steal,
A little truth, a little light,
Burning through the fear tonight.

Big Chorus

Bring back the blue sky,
Bring back the daylight,
We don’t wanna live afraid no more.
Raise your voices,
Make some noise now,
Like a hundred thousand hearts at war.

Whoa-oh-oh!
You can hear us coming —
Whoa-oh-oh!
The sound of something changing.
Bring back the blue…
Bring back the blue sky.

Bridge / Breakdown

They can paint it over,
They can dim the day,
But they’ll never take the feeling away.

No kings, no crowns,
No fear, no chains,
Just open skies and summer rain.

Final Chorus (double-time / crowd chant)

Bring back the blue sky!
Bring back the sunlight!
Everybody singing like the world’s on fire!
Hands up higher!
Voices louder!
We are more than fear and wire!

Whoa-oh-oh!
Can you hear the sound now?
Whoa-oh-oh!
We’re not backing down now!

Bring back the blue…
Bring back the blue sky.
