City High

Hustle
Bustle
The city life
On steroids
When the sun rises
We're rats racing
In search of new mirages
Each oasis we see
Is just an overflowing
Bursting drain
The debris of our dreams
Spilling at the seams

And when the sun sets
It's the glow
Of blow
As we inhale
Each others
Frenzied cries
Powdered sighs
Regurgitated lies
Our nostrils flare
Eyes narrow to slits
And we dare
The looming darkness
To dampen burgeoning spirits
We're all high
Inside
But outside
Strangers see
The lies
We lead

And our illusions
Become their dreams
The cycle completes.

Reality strums
To glamour's beats.
