City Lights

Passes in a blink of an eye

The cityscape is altering by and by

I shut my ears to the noise

As if escaping in the dark

As if sinking into the deep

On the brink of vanishing in the light residing in my mind

Drawn in my dream from time past fade away before it's within grasp?

Now, here, awaken I shall

That's why I have to change myself

I must open that illuminated door and walk through

An ever present failure ― in it don't dwell

With a step, slowly, calmly, the world beckons you

Then glance around to find the evening presents itself

The city lights hold my mind

Look up at the sky, thinking to myself

The end of the dream from somewhere in time past, is yet to come

The city lights hold me still

When the Sun goes down. It's time to awake

I trust my senses, I swear that I will come true

The hope will never be a gone

Dazed, in the bustle of man and the machine

Gripped by the fear of the uncertain future, all, falling into despair and departure

Reality is cruel ― it may leave me behind

Yet, I shall grab whatever lies ahead

Farewell to former self

The city lights hold me still

When the Sun goes down. It's time to awake

I trust my senses, I swear that I will come true

The hope will never be a gone
