This City is lost as I am

Standing still on an unfriendly sidewalk,
Staring at the flickering streetlights

Gently pressing my palm against the dead-cold iron of the pole

The lights suddenly shut and again I'm left alone with my thoughts
Navigating directionless on a stream of a grey density, hiding in the confinement of a filthy back alley

I think I had sex here once but that's not the point
The molecules surrounding me are definitely moving at a faster pace than mine,
I guess that's why my vision is so blurry

Dry cold air fills my lungs, leaving an aftertaste of dust in my mouth

I washed it clean with several shots of vodka
And why am I coughing this much?
I've never smoked, if I'd known maybe I would have started
To quit, would've been a goal to reach in life

There goes passion, out of a broken window
Passing by great buildings, giants of man-made desires that are spreading their wings
Of darkness upon the city for miles
I'm out of breath, and I can't do a thing about it

( No One will hear me scream)
