City Lights

In a state of longing and despair

my words drown out as you speak

hope for a sign but you pay little heed to me

In a state of woe, for once I found relief

but your affection was just sympathy

behind the front you still pay little heed to me

I drown in the wake of your greed

obliterated by your speed

Oh, let my spirit rise

to where the giants hide

all life within the tides

fade into city lights

In a state of longing and despair

my diary ends the way it should be

I draw a line

as you still pay little heed to me

I drown in the warmth of your womb

wish you could deliver me from ruin

Oh, let my spirit rise

to where the giants hide

all life within the tides

fade into city lights

I wish you by my side

oh, when the giants rise

and the eternal night

will be lit up by city lights

Another time or in another life

you could have been my ... never mind
