Wires & walls
rats in bathroom stalls
strained sinews drag
a Camel into my lungs
as I walk over
asphalted hills.
Bridges span seas,
but to no memories
of a life unguided
by highways' helping hands;
all adventures are planned
ahead.
Cities grow
as cameras roll
to capture the movements
of every breaking soul.
Wires & walls
rats in bathroom stalls
beasts in a zoo
which we all walk through,
how miserable we have to be
to lock up all as we do.
Eyes to the night sky
avoiding neon lies
seek soothing drops
of moonlight trickling down
our crystalline, steel caves.
Killers and lovers
walk the parks together.
Knife in hand,
hand in hand
all hope to find
what they need.
Cities grow
as cameras roll
to capture the movements
of every breaking soul.

Knife in hand,

to capture the movements
of every breaking soul.
