UPLYNC, Mila Thompson - Black Carbon Lyrics

Can you taste it
Doesn't it burn your eyes
And make your throat run dry
We breathe it all our lives
They erased it
It's like we don't exist
They don't care if we die

We are the sacrifice
We are the people that the future left behind
Slipping beneath the tide
Can you hear me cry
Out to the stars beyond this dim black carbon sky

Can you hear it?
Doesn't it hurt your brain
And keep you up at night
We're told to stay inside
Persevere it
But no one is listening
To hear me say goodbye

We are the sacrifice
Laid on the altar to the gods of your desire
Slowly, they bleed us dry
Can you hear me cry
Out to the stars beyond this dim black carbon sky

We are the sacrifice
We are the signal static fading in the night
Suffering out of sight
Can you hear me cry
Out to the stars beyond this dim black carbon sky
