Sep 2016
Bright lights beckon
Whispers draw like siren song
The vagueness of this horizon
Pulls at strings
I never knew were attached

I hear the rumble
Of my heart across the ocean
The impatience of this existence
Tears at chains
I know all too well were attached

But I can't stay here anymore
I no longer want this point of view
The urge for motion
Is growing far stronger
Than the gravity in this town
