Lyrics
have you ever looked up to the city at night
a rush of colors playing off of light
soon I look down upon the intricate designs
I'm by myself and I realize the creation of life
it's all around me, it surrounds me, I can't escape it I'm feeling intoxicated
the patterns form inside my empty mind
breaking down the illusion of time
in my head it's spinning out of control
no need for conversation no need for feeling old
I'm all alone in this place they call home
I take a hit and start to unfold I'm getting old
Ive lost all I had and swollowed my love
it's all around me it surrounds me again
