Empathy Is Nothing

One Stitch More is a project by GoodnightTheSkye and Ethan Alexander. The Blackout was created for the Amanda Palmer Sunday Songwriting contest.

L Y R I C S:

When the darkness came
The music took an out of office day
Worked itself free
Spread like veins under the city

Broke Broadway open
Turned bystanders to ticket holders
Let applause fly outdoors
So it went searching for more
 
Found them screeched to a halt in the subway
Stone-faced, swaddled in silence and scared

Unprepared for connection on their connecting train home
Blinking at phones, all alone, until the music rerouted them 

C H O R U S 

Power down - electrify the crowd
Dark so loud, with the sounds of the blackout
Feel around, Footsteps graze the ground
Drawn downtown, to the sound of the blackout


V E R S E T W O 

A lightless West Side, drew its people in tight
They pooled what cash they had, hunkered down to wait the night out 
Drinking by the glow of their cellphones, avoiding going home
Selfies in the street, to immortalise the memory
 
Of the day that the bottleneck popped
Sent people flowing on to the streets, 
bubbling up from underneath -
 
Had to check their eyes were open
Blink and breathe
The pressure relieved
By the map of  the melody
