City Lights
glimmering, glistening , the stars in this night sky
Oh they can’t, oh they can’t. They can’t Compare to these bright city lights
The silent screaming and pain can’t compare to these comfortable nights
When the darkness takes over and the stars so far away ;yet distinctive in my eyes
Tho the beauty in those are nothing compared to the colors in my mind
My lies fall towards your lingering eyes
these pathetic screams these bright city lights
Remixing;delusion for simple human gaze
Identity lost, personality stolen, painted vividly upon my face
Oh the way you beat me with your emotions
Oh it can’t compare, can’t compare it can’t compare to when you hold me tight
Oh the pangs from the hunger so well deserved still can’t get my body right
The butterflies ate from quick glances ripping out of my spine
the mesmerizing love given yet not earner these bright city lights
as the dimness on my mind contrast your colorful, beauty-filled mind
I watch your lingering judgment filled eyes as they take ahold of mine
The beating up of one’s self
The shame for a meal eaten and thrown up later
These city lights watch as I beg for help
these city lights are my savior
From butterfly so social
To flowers planted within walls
From infatuation to deep thoughts reserved for later
to the loss of motion,
You watching as I crawl
Crawl into my position as a floorgazer
These bright yellow-gold-silver lights brighten up this happy town
More than the smiles of the loveless and lost
More than the switches inside where one
Lies safe and sound
these bright city lights seen free of cost
these bright city lights are the only thing keeping me around
