Concrete Veins

Numbed and muddled
You walk these hallways
With faculty bathed in strychnine
You watch the days go by
In disgrace
Trapped in your loneliness
You have become nobody
In the midst of this town, isolated
You have welcomed urban emptiness

In the midst of the metropolis
You have entombed all hope
Free but bound to your shell
You wander these concrete veins
Remain
In turmoil
Hum that elegy
Bled dry and obscure
Anonymous

Stripped but ignored, you accuse this wasteland of treachery

Your downfall
So sudden
A lasting date with the rope
Psychotic and deluded
Death and despair

Rise us above the metropolis [?]
You are but don't belong
Break a cult of gossip
You are wander these lonely graves
