City Lights

She doesn't know what she's missing

She knows there's going to be a fall

Of a city so bright and tall

No one is actually there at all

The crowded empty spaces of inbetween light

Shrouded in mist and mystery is right

An eye to see the world crumble and crack

It leaches out to grab a hold of something worth living for

When parting dust makes it's self known 

Terror and falling through the sky accur 

She held the power so safe and warm 

While really it dissapered of being so lonely, desperate, lost and cold

A tower so high may not help things

Just standing there

And mocking us all

Or maybe just my brain cells

It tells the tales of better weather

And smiles

For this side of the picture is the escape route

To bad we're already here 

And want to go back

To peaceful slumbers of snoring bears that lay on balloons 

And flowers that crisp and fall apart when touched 

and angels that weep nothing but dust 

and lions who love to make escape to nowhere, impossible 

and who love to arise dinosaurs 

and bring back sad memories of someone you can't have 

and monsters with arrows that hide under your bed 

and bad parenting who always lie 

and cockaroaches and beds and green grass and lying cakes and dead things 

and winged creatures who swoop down to kill you and your hopes and dreams 

and nailpolish and make you hide in places not seen 

who also bring back memories of dreams that should not be seen 

and lost and had and dreamt and wept 

and there's always something under that bed 

and down the stairs and on the floor and just a little way through that door 

and nightmares and dreamscapes are what I need 

for maybe just maybe the green eggs and ham and the stop and go signs 

just won't save me this time.
