| The days grow shorter The days shadows grow longer The sun sets deeper And the moon drifts higher The trucks get faster And the smog gets thicker Our buildings soar toward God, But not to touch Him. Only to create more shadows, hiding places. In a city of so many They each have a foot of shadow, A foot of hiding space. Our tempers drip from our brains to the tongue, We've lost all control. Society rules everything with it's whims and wishes. Life will be stamped away, Slowly for us, But only a flash in times stance. As our days grow shorter Our hiding places grow longer. We have so many places to hide. |
