The city stares at me with a fever, teeth loose in its mouth

Entangled in its spit and drunk, they revel in its light

And preach aloud that every effort to remain as we are will limit us

Ghost of gentle form pleading with us

Tell me

Tell me how you cannot feel

Your palms peel like snakes

As our hands drive into wires?

Apotheosis of the nervous dream

Cells burn in the sea of information

Tell me

Tell me how I cannot know what I am?

Progress distracts us from the vitality of the earth

So far from death yet so devoid of life

Neon falls around me

Bending through perpetual rain

Do you remember when we last had day?

Reflections bleach the endless grey

Clouds arrive and forever they remain

I've been longing, begging

To see a hand reach out from our dying sky

To hold us and erase us of our godlessness

It's deafening isn't it?

The searing of chrome

The endless drone

The amphetamine edge

And the pigs on their thrones

The burning of light from the ocean of screens

But I won't accept this as our oppressive dream

What makes us human is not dead

I still have hope

I still have hope

Neon falls around me

Bending through perpetual rain

Do you remember when we last had day?
