The Hidden City

I can take you to the city of lights
unforgettable moments, eternal nights
the hidden city that rages
to the musical waves crashing
against such astounding sights

So here it is
the crossroads of twilight
and the fireflies that fly in between
the realm of the norm
and the realm of the strange

I got one hand to hold yours
and one hand to point the way
through the maze of banter
bouncing off your chest
like you spoke for the first time

I can guide you
if your mind is willing
to partake in the unusual
and the unexplored
in an adventure like nothing
that has come before it

The people dance to the sounds
of such sonic solutions
moving with the mood music
like a dream that dances
like its got two legs of its own

There is nothing wrong here
simply the waterfall at work
the drops of mist are simply
part of the beautiful chaos
that flashes before you

If life is indeed the fall
then this gathering is the climax
between human kindness
and a deeper understanding
of the river we must return to

I am simply holding the lantern
that can lead you through
the unfamiliar fog
as we move underneath
such stellar lights

The choice is yours
the well is waiting
I see that your mind is thirsty
so let me relinquish you
of its mental drought
