Cities of Gold

Cities aglow from eternal flames
Cities of gold where the streets have been paved with names

Floating down the street I'm numb to
everyday tragedies
woken from a blur I come to
a bottlenecked crowd,
horses and police
everybody's leaning into
yellow barricades, singing elegies

Cities aglow from eternal flames
Cities of gold where the streets have been paved with names

Floating down the street I'm numb to
everyday tragedies
drifting through a world succumb to
isolation, violent ideologies
a simple melody I hum to forget that I'm here

Cities aglow from eternal flames
Cities of gold where the streets have been paved with names

floating down the street I'm numb to
everyday tragedies
woken from a blur I come to
a bottlenecked crowd
horses and police
everybody's leaning into
yellow barricades, singing elegies
