City Night

I walk down a lonely road

Trough the city late at night

Trough the goo and gunk and mold

Hear people scream and fight

I pass humans by the mass

Staring in their empty face

Separated by their class

In their designated place

I pass through them very quick

Running through this concrete maze

I count my steps, brick by brick

followed by their soulless gaze

I see a couple in the park

Kissing under a streetlight

A light tearing through the dark

I pull back into the night

I walk down to the river

Drag my feet through deepest mud

Can't help an ice-cold shiver

As a man jumps in the flood

Distant sirens pierce my ear

I hear gunshots, barking dogs

I feel this old familiar fear

Cold sweat fill up my socks

I walk back onto this road

See the ladies of the night

See a man in leather coat

Forget the wife by his side

See an old man on the floor

Holding up an empty cup

Drop a coin, walk in the door

I climb the steps, up and up

Till I reach the tower's tops

See the skyline of this town

Hear the noise that never stops

Feel my spirits slowly drown

Want to leave, I can't get out

Step out on the deck of sight

Take a breath, release my doubt

Lift my feet, jump in the night
