Passes in a blink of an eye The cityscape is altering by and by I shut my ears to the noise As if escaping in the dark As if sinking into the deep On the brink of vanishing in the light residing in my mind Drawn in my dream from time past fade away before it's within grasp? Now, here, awaken I shall That's why I have to change myself I must open that illuminated door and walk through An ever present failure ― in it don't dwell With a step, slowly, calmly, the world beckons you Then glance around to find the evening presents itself The city lights hold my mind Look up at the sky, thinking to myself The end of the dream from somewhere in time past, is yet to come The city lights hold me still When the Sun goes down. It's time to awake I trust my senses, I swear that I will come true The hope will never be a gone Dazed, in the bustle of man and the machine Gripped by the fear of the uncertain future, all, falling into despair and departure Reality is cruel ― it may leave me behind Yet, I shall grab whatever lies ahead Farewell to former self The city lights hold me still When the Sun goes down. It's time to awake I trust my senses, I swear that I will come true The hope will never be a gone
