Brooklyn

Brooklyn, your lights burn so bright
A starry night, blurs as cars pass by
Questions and dreams are brought here to die
We can only turn a blind eye
Brooklyn, the waste of time in the sky
Save yourself and leave the rest to cry

Watching from afar
From distant dying stars
We hope one day they'll rise
To join the brightened skies
But save yourselves and in your eyes
We are the blind, the sins you hide
But we see all and know one day that Brooklyn will survive

A loss of faith, a gain of fear
What left do you have to live for in here?
The pain inside, too much to take
The darkest gray comes over night
I can't even seem to find wrong from right
I must get out this place is fake

Watching and hiding, they tell us we will win
Digging and crying, they have committed a sin
As we destroy each other's homes, they watch from above
Confused as of why we cannot love
The carriers have fallen, like the lost dove
Brooklyn, your fire burns so bright
A starry night, blurs as planes drop by
Families and friends are brought here to die
We can only turn a blind eye
Brooklyn, can this really be right?
Save yourself and leave the rest
