city of blinding lights

the more you see the less you know, the less you find out as you go, i knew much more then than i do now, neon heart, day-glow eyes, the city lit by fireflies, they're advertising in the skies, and people like us, and i miss you when you're not around, i'm getting ready to leave the ground, oh you look so beautiful tonight. don't look before you laugh, look ugly in a photograph, flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see, i've seen you walk unafraid, i've seen you in the clothes you've made, can you see the beauty inside of me?, what happened to the beauty i had inside of me?, and i miss you when you're not around, i'm getting ready to leave the ground, oh you look so beautiful tonight.tonight, in the city of blinding lights, time.time.time.won't leave me as i am, but time won't take the boy out of this man, oh you look so beautiful tonight, oh you look so beautiful tonight, oh you look so beautiful tonight, in the city of blinding lights, the more you know, the less you feel, some pray for, others steal, blessings not just for the ones who kneel, luckily
