City of the Night

Unexpected brilliance
The flair of the night
It calls me again

Onto the streets I prowl
The movement controls your mind
The lights message to me
that the night is still young

The noise is buzzing
Full of life
The feeling is celebratory
Absent of strife, absent of fear
Our pain has disappeared

The buildings surround me
Like a neon cage
I’m free, yet lost
And no where to be found

As I move through the crowd
Through the depths
I see the life below the city
The artifice of the night
That has captured me for eternity
