Blackout

from Nightingale by Joe Bailey

lyrics

From a blind eye, I could see it all,
'Cross the skyline, all the colours lay in thrall.
I will comply, to your broken law,
When I'm sky high, I'll be ready to withdraw.

All in due time, or no time at all,
Hear the punchline, and then wait for me to fall.
When the sun shines, they can watch me crawl,
But my incline, is ascension through the core.

They write my whispers on the clouds.
I'll stitch and seal their golden mouths.

There's a fine line, between hate and war,
And your hate crime is not easy to ignore.
Maybe sometime, in your last encore,
In my lifetime, I won't see you anymore.

You'll see me in your nightmares,
you'll speak of me in your prayers,
You'll hear me when you're crying,
You'll feel me when you're dying.
You'll pierce me with your needles,
You'll break me in to pieces,
We'll crawl like puzzled beetles,
And bleed like we are surviving.

With lights out, we'll find out, that we can not survive now.
Don't know how, but watch out, you'll go out harder anyhow.

There's a fine line, between hate and war,
And your hate crime is not easy to ignore.
Maybe sometime, in your last encore,
In my lifetime, I won't see you anymore.

You'll see me in your nightmares,
you'll speak of me in your prayers,
You'll hear me when you're crying,
You'll feel me when you're dying.
You'll pierce me with your needles,
You'll break me in to pieces,
We'll crawl like puzzled beetles,
And bleed like we are surviving.
