Evil City
Evil city
Taunts us
With our pleasure
Turned to pain...
...She snuffs me
Out,
On my marble
Grave,
Like cigarettes
In rain.
...A beaten constitution
Led me down
Her many
Ducts...
...I've yet to find
Solutions,
With my humanness
In flux.
Her Mausoleum
Holds a truth
That's hasn't been
Revealed...
...She won't sign off
On tonight's escape...
...So surrendering,
I yield!
The evil city
Locks
Me down,
And teaches me to
Lie!...
...I hate her,
Though I've
Learnt to love her
Under pregnant
Skies...
...Swollen in my
Gullet
Like a lozenge
Time forgot.
...My city...
Devious as ever!
...Screaming
Vacant lots
Alert the people
To assemble!...
...How could a
Soul deny?...
She is seduction...
...She is a promise;
Secreted from
Small minds.
Please free me from
Overwhelming
Power!...
...This city holds
Too much
Sway upon these
Blighted people...
...Captives in her
Clutch...
...I want to live
Beyond the fences...
Somewhere
I can be...
...My city's dead...
There's no one
Breathing...
...An empty
Womb of
Need.
