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
It's 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
