Lights Out

The fire's gone, the burning flame, the ashes left to cool How did it go so wrong? Did we leave it too long? The city breathes out smoke-filled air that's blocking out the sun Did we stop looking when we felt the sting? Lights out, lights out We ignore the silent tides that no longer flow, no longer flow And the stars that lit the skies no longer glow, no longer glow And we're covering our tracks and we'll never make it back A plastic flower, a neon light and time is at our hands Nothing seems to grow and nowhere to go Lights out, lights out We ignore the silent tides that no longer flow, no longer flow And the stars that lit the skies no longer glow, no longer glow We ignore the silent tides that no longer flow, no longer flow And the stars that lit the skies no longer glow, no longer glow And we're covering our tracks and we'll never make it back
