~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last sound I hear before the train
Hollers down the tunnel is your voice
Asking me is there any reason left
To the world outside the tube
Passing through tangled vapors of darkness
Under this city of unrivaled sacrifice

Or are we just covered by concrete, glass and steel
Waiting for the resurrection of light
To signal its way back to us
To sanction the roaring pulse of evolution
To enter the platform where we breathe
Forcing our bodies to ululate
In an synchronized appeal
For freedom to reenter the sky

We never touch our flesh to the gate
Where the exit and entrance blend
Into a formidable opponent
And now in a forced limbo of movement
We have entered the land
Where shadows request forgiveness
And dreamers tumultuously find their way
Back from the source of nether land

The last glimpse I saw of you
You were entering the closing doors
Looking back to me as if I was an urban phantom
Invisible to the mass of faces
Commuting to nowhere
Suggesting another dimension of appearance
Searching for a way out of this mess
