Skyscrapers

from Neapolis by Blackbirch

/

lyrics

You wanted what you have
A prison made to isolate yourself

It crackles, you’re unsafe
Ascending, isolating from the rest
Skyscrapers, our Babel
I'll lead you to where you've never been

Guess all the occasions that we missed
Developing vertically in towers of glass
Walls – communication failed
Detached and imprisoned by concrete thoughts

It crackles, you’re unsafe
You are Icarus with wings of glass
Skyscrapers, our Babel
Neapolis' architect is in your head

Fear me!
I am all and nothing
Step in the kingdom of loss
Let go of all your expectations
Bow down to the rubble and rust
Accept the fact that you want to
Be me!
God of cold perfection
Step into the city of lead
Erase yourself among grey walls
Step back and watch the cancer spread
You know this is the end

Ascending
Isolating
You know this is the end

Sometimes we bend
For the world we're trying to save
Sometimes we break
But the world just doesn't care
And the wind will clean what's left
Once we were conquerors
And now we're prey
Once we broke barriers
And now we can't escape from here

Syncing our hearts to the traffic lights
Drowning in soot as the days go by
Like bees with barcodes in an artificial hive
Is this world for me to live in
Or is it just my tomb?

It shatters under your feet
Feel free while the flight turns into fall
Skyscrapers becoming sand
Neapolis burns forever then
