|
As a sleeper in metropolis |
|
You are insignificance |
|
Dreams become entangled in the system |
|
Environment moves over the sleeper |
|
Conditioned air |
|
Conditions sedated breathing |
|
The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh |
|
Soft and warm |
|
But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night |
|
Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams |
|
We fight our insignificance |
|
The harder we fight |
|
The higher the wall |
|
Outside, the cancerous city spreads |
|
Like an illness |
|
Its symptoms |
|
In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations |
|
Tailed by the silent spotlights |
|
Of society-created paranoia |
|
No alternative could grow |
|
Where love cannot take root |
|
No shadows will replace |
|
The warmth of your contact |
|
Love is dead in metropolis |
|
All contact through glove or partition |
|
What a waste |
|
The city |
|
A wasting disease |
