Everything Here Is New - Burning Airlines

This night is opaque;

Spills out and it’s spreading like paint

Every city: 18th and K

Blue blackens the grey

And money is safe

Shell game under scaffolded shapes

Ghost town ends anonymous day;

Again you arrive late

And all alone the exorcism you once craved

Now like a mechanism set in place

Where can you go?

Your history’s erased

When everything here is new

Who will remember you?

We’re drunk on the changing view

Play just where we fell

I think we might die in this shell

Know well, that we’re shedding new ghosts

Like dying skin cells

Vibrating without sympathy

Resonating like an empty glass

And when we break

These ghosts sing softly:

«You can be replaced.»

When everything is new

Who will remember you?

We’re drunk on the changing view

Now everything here is new
