Rainy Days In Tokyo

i ain’t never been to tokyo

its sunny here it’s probably sunny there too,

i guess

there was a bitter sweet breeze this morning

but it didn’t pause me

on my walk to the train, thoughts of my next step

head phones on, world off

my backpack is filled with things i wouldn’t use on a mountain climb

pay my fare pay my share

but i’m too cheap to pay attention

it’s probably raining in tokyo

i get a knock at my microsleep

“celebrity catches big fish”

so, i click the bait

hooked to useless knowledge i’ve just gained.

2:25 small fee, i’ll just paid attention

routined in this circular maze

but its sunny here,

its probably sunny in tokyo too
