I drive out each night To see the city sky get bright, Because someday, I'm afraid, I'll forget it. The people outside are saying every line Like one day they might live to regret it. I tried to catch up the strain Of the murmuring refrain That seeped out from the streets, Where it was embedded. Under the fluorescent sky Another wayward, errant sigh Was etched into the walls, Where nobody read it. You hold on so tight When you lay down at night, As the traffic outside Sweeps your room with its lights, Because the sunrise, When it hits your eyes, Could burn out all these dreams, If you let it.
