Skyline Lyrics by Eric Mayson

Detail

0

(Intro)
What a brave expression
What a sight for tired eyes
To be filled to the brim
With people
Sad and scared
Lonely and feeble
Renting islands in the sky
Renting islands

(Verse 1)
But that's got nothing to do with me
Though I celebrate its skeleton constantly
I could say it's my city
But the line grows long behind me and in-front of me
I took a bus downtown
To the epicenter of sound
Now I'm full of resistance
It all looks so cold from such a long distance

(Hook)
My skyline
My city
Has so very little to do with me
My skyline
My city
It's like a familiar face in the strangest place
Seems my island's run aground
My island's run aground

(Verse 2)
So now me and my baby
Have to leave or stay and go crazy
Though the future is hazy
We're gettin' by
I mean she still cries
So why do I feel so lucky
(Looking up at the skyline knowing it's my city)
To have this pane glass giant devouring me
Devouring me

(Hook)
My skyline
My city
Has so very little to do with me
My skyline
My city
It's like a familiar face in the strangest place
Seems my island's run aground
My island's run aground
My island's run aground
Run aground
My island's run aground
Run aground
My island's run aground (x3)
Run aground (x4)
