I am sitting in a city Full and empty Concrete lines of grey Smudged tranquility Quiet almost silent But for the deafening Complexity I am standing in a city Alone in company Touched but unfelt By the fingers of society Invisible to those above And those below Just a flicker on the face Of the stranger I know I am walking in a city Passing colours Too bright For my shallow eyes Every night They burn away And fall into the sepia Lamplight a golden glow I am hungry for this city To open up Fill with light A dawn to spread the sun Bright hot To burn away the dirt Leaving only clarity and The human need for Simplicity

City
I am sitting in a city Full and empty Concrete lines of grey Smudged tranquility Quiet almost silent But for the deafening Complexity I am standing in a city Alone in company Touched but unfelt By the fingers of society Invisible to those above And those below Just a flicker on the face Of the stranger I know I am walking in a city Passing colours Too bright For my shallow eyes Every night They burn away And fall into the sepia Lamplight a golden glow I am hungry for this city To open up Fill with light A dawn to spread the sun Bright hot To burn away the dirt Leaving only clarity and The human need for Simplicity
