Arcade on Fire

Pixelated dreams across a digital land. Trapped in these moments no one understands. Lost in the lights of this neon glow. Listen to the sounds, I wonder where they go. Glitches on the horizon, flickers start the flame. Life is the journey we all must play the game. Where’s the beep calling? Smoke starts the sound. Walking through it all, as it burns to the ground.

Walking through an arcade and

everything is okay. Walking through an

arcade, on fire.

Running in life’s labyrinth of our social spires. Trying to be the best, sparking all these fires. It’s can’t win the game, if you don’t do the dances. Chasing high scores, and taking big chances. Playing through it all, on our quest for praise. No track of time, we haven't slept in days. Trapped by the colors, we didn’t hear the sound. Walking through it all, as it burns to the ground.

(Everything around me became suddenly unreal, as if in a dream.)

Digital dances, ones and zeros sway. Flames burn higher, never go away. Silhouettes in code, shadows off the screen. Dealing with the chaos, and pixels in-between. Navigating smoke, in this world gone a blaze. Seeking some direction when it’s all become a haze. Cabinets are crumbling, the fire is abound. Walking through it all, as it burns to the ground.

Smoldering ruins, with loss all around. Plastic puddles wires still abound. Burned in doubts with loss and tears. Walking on still through all our fears. Rise and swirl, ashes in the air. Fragmented stories, scattered everywhere. Voices in the fire, hear the hissing sound. Walking through it all, as it burns to the ground.
