The city's an illusion; a quilt work of hopes and dreams. A fantastical façade; where nothing's quite what it seems. Sex breaks free from its cocoon; flexing neon wings at night. And salacious bars attract; as fledgling feelings take flight. Like a shadow in the dark; truth is invisible here. And the indelible smiles fade when your funds disappear. A city missing its soul; has long lost track of its heart. And within the light of day; the illusion falls apart.

Downtown nightlife is a rough neighbourhood. Well described, Emile.
