city of strangers

city of strangers
city of dreamers
rushing on
pouring in

chasing dreams
same as when
first we played the game
played tricks on our eyes
that we were the sole alive

a thousand wandered streets
a thousand crowds
my dream the same
as on arrival

absolution now
i don’t live in shadow
anymore, but

first city light always finds the truth
no matter how fast you live
or how many times
you outlast the night
