(Lost with the) City Lights

"I wonder about silence. Also about darkness. I love the idea that city lights are a "conspiracy" against higher thoughts". — Terry Tempest Williams; 'A voice in the wilderness: conversations with Terry Tempest Williams'.

 

"City lights shine bright on my complexion,

Self-reflection...Red hairs flashing at the intersection.

Life is a green light, one star, no script,

Supporting actors...Fresh peaches, no pit". — Action Bronson

The more you see, the less you know

The less you find out as you go

I knew much more then

Than I do now

 

Neon-heart, day-glow eyes

A city lit by fireflies

They're advertising in the skies

For people like us

 

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

 

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights

 

Don't look before you laugh

Look ugly in a photograph

Flash bulbs, purple irises

The camera can't see

 

I've seen you walk unafraid

I've seen you in the clothes you made

Can you see the beauty inside of me?

What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

 

And I miss you when you're not around

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

 

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights

 

Time, time, time, time, time

Won't leave me as I am

But time won't take the boy out of this man

 

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights

 

The more you know, the less you feel

Some pray for, others steal

Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel

Luckily.
