City Limits

Pervasive sound

Drill the ground

Time is now

Drown in the crowd

I saw a mutilated bird on the road the other day

With black tire marks all over its sprayed out insides

A stench of gasoline was penetrating my nose

And vultures started circling overhead

Walking vicinity

controlled mobility

Pile on the for city's sake

Metropolitan layer cake

I took the greyhound bus into Manhattan

All the cars passing me were heading outwards

The slick, chrome walls gave me shelter from the chaos reign

Please grant me entry to thy heavenly plains

I spoke to alphaville

And the skyscrapers opened up

Lust for concrete touch

The smell of diesel sludge

Familiarity's poison pill

I reside against my will

Shell-shock ringing, vibration sings siren songs

i trust you implicitly, please act as GPS for me

Ten lane highway, fellating exhaust pipes

Strengthen you grip until I'm free and fuel my electricity

Machine heads come crashing, dummy stunts are daily drive

Secure in anonymity, I long to once collide with thee

Oil drips, tar pits swallow vitamin supplies

Electrolytes in racing green, bioluminescent, never unseen

I ache, the fumes of generations fill my lungs

Pay my rent in parking fees, the sweat is dripping down my knees

The city limits far out in the distance disappear

I dream of mediocrity and settle for what lies in reach
