Story Behind The Song
When people get too sure of themselves, they stop paying attention. This song is my realization that nothing is fare, nothing makes sense and I don't have any of "the" answers. Accepting this has made me happier than I've ever been my whole life-so far :)
Song Description
Blue Sky Indifference is filled with metaphor and sarcasm about the obstacles people create for themselves in life and the isolation created by fear and ignorance. The music is soaring and airy while the song's message speaks of liberation from the constrictions created and enforced by organized religion.

Lyrics
Fortress down, it got built up way too high and then it
tumbled down at the slightest of blows
Underground, where the trees all take their hold I'm goin
underground to the quiet
Stake your need splay it out
scrimp and gorge 'fore the drought
pray for death oh not your own
fall sinners down before the throne
Suffer hard for your life a noble cause so telling
carve a cross into your bedpost
grieve your loss but make amends with all your ghosts
invite them to your room, this mortal circus
Stake your need splay it out
scrimp and gorge 'fore the drought
pray for death oh not your own
fall sinners down before the throne
Fortress gone, stone walls gave way to life unsound unspoken
truth runs deep, blue sky indifference
fortress gone, gone
fear builds feeble walls
gone, gone,
fear and you will fall
gone, gone
