Ian Petch Poet Lyric

Lost City

Absently I walk through crowded streets of blame
Collecting inner strength but walking from my pain
When suddenly I realise that everyone is gone
And where I have been heading is a place I don’t belong

I have never seen a world so void of life
The ruins that surround me are methodically inscribed
The fears of a race that didn’t think it could exist
But everywhere I look the mirrors still persist

The towers of the fallen built to overcome
The race for faster networks has built the need to run
A single mass-illusion that I don’t want to be
But every time I turn it’s affecting parts of me

Nothing to be simple, something to be sane
Whatever I become I’m something to be saved
There’s barely one more person that’s visible to me
But every time I look the truth’s infecting me

Silence in my city, but I am still alive
I stick to my illusions or I don’t, but I’m alive
I create the memories or I let them go
And I will keep on walking so I can better know
