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
