XYZ
We move to the rhythm of the city
Beating to the waves of adrenaline, never pity.
I need to hold you close, this affliction is impossible to diagnose.
Trying to comprehend and begging Gods and Monsters that tonight will never end.
Our Sonic Youth cannot be contained,
Electronic and unashamed.
With brains that bleed idiosyncratically and make magic with words or a pen,
Hands that turn a gin and tonic into something drastically more chronic.
The solution to the problem is that the cause is quite solemn.
Leave everything behind for a new place;Β Β taste your favorite stranger's face.
Let them know that their perfume can light up a whole room.
We're searching for the people we've been our whole lives, in structures we do not recognize.
Know that most women that dream only survive on nicotine,
Slow Dancing in the Dark just to feel Nevermore than a spark.
This is how it feels to be unreal, when your entire body becomes brittle steel.
Don't let the season tantalize your demons.
If you can feel your own unapologetic heart, realize that this is just the start.
And when you're tired of leaving, run.
