Big City Bug Lights lyrics

Big city bug lights lit in LED

They attract the unknowing

Drawing them into its grasp

A fantasy world shining on

The seasons of the year

Alit in brilliant neon's glow

Where brick and cement dull

And conceal its magnificence

The blue of a winter's recent snow

The green of spring's young buds

The yellow of summer's bright days

And orange of fall's turned leaves

Simple things, nature brings

Consigned to a central park

An island of green floating

Upon a sea of grey and black

The mountains are windowed

Their peaks topped by antennas

They look as though child's blocks

Stacked and cast so haphazardly

Humanity scurries about as if ants

They trudge off to some destination

Departing and arriving from nowhere

Hurriedly and impatiently skittering

If the power went out what then

What would guide these bugs on

Drones in a packed hive of chaos

Incohesive, disoriented bands

A life lived apart from other beings

Though surrounded by suspects

To walk a single path for but self

A strange affair is humanity dense

No code of conduct pressuring

Small towns that know it all

Inescapable indiscretions fall

And the blur of big cities conceal

What grows in concrete and steel

The meager screaming souls

Begging to get out of their cells

To run alone, free and untethered

The end it comes in the bug lights

Attracted to the brilliant lure

Where temptation overrides will

And the spirit succumbs to red
