scars to stars

i feel like im floating upon a cascade of lights
endless charade
lifeless parade
is everyone in this town just hiding from something
burying themselves in
someone else
burying themselves in sin
sin city
so gritty
sucks you in like quicksand
grips you tight
chews you up and spits you out
you cannot hide too long
in a city without trees
in a city so bleak
you will be exposed
you will be exploited
and this town will take you in
like its bastard child
and love you for it
nurture your scars
turn them to stars that light its own streets
endless lights for miles and miles
the town made of lights
still cannot hide its gross yet enrapturing dark
