Inspired by Leaves Of Grass by Walt Whitman

lyrics

Always on Fire

Take me to the lights so blurry
Each night over the city purring 
Molecular strutting, timeless, complete 
The seeds are planted in concrete
Every breath, every brethren 
Jagged rhythms in the broken pieces of heaven
Friction in the callous and cruel,
Between the heartlessness and you

And all the thirst for power brings
The appetite of kings
And all your desire sings like a siren
Brooklyn is always on fire

The sacred and profane, just temperature 
Your mind is playing tricks on you
Behind a mother holding hands, 
A child who was once a man
So disparate yet tightly wound 
Our appetite seduced by sound 
Fuchsia, Aquamarine will play
The latest micro-dosed decay

While the crooks and kleptocrats
Dress in basic black
We dance and we fan the flame forever higher, (listen) 
Brooklyn is always on fire

Here, how we made it with the ice inside our veins
Here, the honor to share this moment with everyone on this train
Here, the molten gold that runs so hot beneath this bliss
Here, I’m so in love I’d drink the very air with the thirst I feel every time we kiss

And all I see is your face while we spin in place
Spiraling through time and space
And desire
Brooklyn is always on fire
