lyrics
Dm f
I can’t see. New. York. city
gm Bb a
A city of lights
Has gone blind
This world is an illusion
Powered by an ignorance
A city that never sleeps…..
Is lost in a bad dreAeAeAeam
Bb f gm a
The joint isnt jumping in Carnegie hall
The billboards dont advertise anything at all
Madison square is no longer there
a city shut down
now a silhouette town
f am gm bb c
Goodbye green, yellow, red
Manhattan is dead
I cant stay here but i can’t go home
The wheel can’t steer when there is no road
Hello dark black
Hello lights out
Stuck in the train tracks
C a
on a nowhre bound
Bb a
electricity flikcering sound
Dm f gm bb a
You’ve been held hostage by an elevator
I can feel the
flames of the burning fire
Happy anniversary
Do u wanna blackout in these blacked out bars with me
the glow of our phones will light up our drinks
raise a glass for this
Dm
deja vu thing
Bb f gm a
Our eyes are open but the doors are closed
the skyscrapers fade away like falling dominos
the band keeps playing but there is no sound
all that remains is a confused crowd
a g f e
f am gm bb c
Goodbye half of Times Square
broadways an abandoned thoroughfare
the empire state building is a ghost
the tourists are pissed but they’re making the most
Hello outrage
Hello outreach
this has been
quite a day
a f
but we’re used to this arent we
dm f g dm
it’s another west side story
this is not the time for your selfies
is it still new york if there is no light
well people have the power if the power wants to fight
f am gm bb c
If the show cant go on
we’ll still sing the songs
we’ll meet on the streets and make a scene
til we regenerate our electricity
hello skyline (Hello midtown)
hello new york (Hello midsummer)
no sleeping on the subway tonight
Bb c dm
its our fuckin world so turn on the - abrupt stop cus like blackout heheh
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018
