In the shining city lights,
I find my soul getting lost.
Every hurt, every despair
Seems to fill the heart with shards of frost
The flickering flame of hope
Is certainly no match
And the colder it grows
My breath seems to catch
The blue of my mood
Now spreading to my skin
As the chill now spreads
outside just as within.
Retreating behind the walls
Seems the only respite
The warmth of solitude
Retreats the chilly bite.
But every now and then,
When the guard is down
The enchanting lights beckon
And within them, I watch my soul drown
