Stars or Helicopters

Are they..
Stars or helicopters that
Shine in the sky tonight,
The street lights swerve
And seek to make the
Darkness just a little bright

How does no one seem
To see how we destroy it all,
Just to make room for ourselves?

Are they..
Stars or helicopters that
Roam the skies tonight,
My mother says she
Can tell them apart
But I don't think she's right..

Something tells me that
This light will bind
The life out from the night,
And we will never see
A dark dawn again

Are they..
Stars or helicopters that
Climb the sky tonight,
No one seems to get
The hunch that the dark
Is not a life to fight..

He does his best to
Bring back the black for
The creatures under his reign,
But we suck it all away
Because we're selfish,
Aren't we?

Forever I am confused between
The stars and helicopters,
Stars and helicopters
Stars and helicopters
I wish I could tell you,
Which was which
But all they'd see is a target,
From those million miles above
