I am the city, that never sleeps.
I go on and on, and on and on.
Day after day.
Night after night.
People are born. People die.
People fall in love. People fall out of love.
People come. People go.
I stand here, the same.
I don't wake up. I don't sleep.
I stay.
Rusting.
Renovating.
Restructuring.
My roots run deep.
My spine runs firm.
I am the noise.
Breaking into the stillness of being.
I am the silence.
Gasping in the middle of noise.
I smoke. I quench.
I live. I age.
I exhilarate. I replenish.
I exhaust. I deplete.
Day after day.
Night after night.
Every beginning must come to an end
Every captivity must give way to its rupture
As I await mine. The salvation. The avalanche.
It's one more silent night tonight.
It's one more deafening night tonight.
It's one more sleepless night tonight.
Day after day.
Night after night.
People are born. People die.
People fall in love. People fall out of love.
People come. People go.
I stand here, the same.
I don't wake up. I don't sleep.
I stay.
Rusting.
Renovating.
Restructuring.
My roots run deep.
My spine runs firm.
I am the noise.
Breaking into the stillness of being.
I am the silence.
Gasping in the middle of noise.
I smoke. I quench.
I live. I age.
I exhilarate. I replenish.
I exhaust. I deplete.
Day after day.
Night after night.
Every beginning must come to an end
Every captivity must give way to its rupture
As I await mine. The salvation. The avalanche.
It's one more silent night tonight.
It's one more deafening night tonight.
It's one more sleepless night tonight.
