Diamond Sky

I ran outside this morning not knowing what to do

Perhaps I needed a brisk walk before I started anew

The city feels so still and dark before the sun comes out

This harrowing experience, unexpected and delirious

But then the sky lights up and everything comes alive

The unending chrome plate curves all shine along like some great light-up hive

The city shines like diamonds up and through the smog in the sky

Where else could I reside

This horrific maze of tyranny and menace but still

There’s a fervent beauty in all of this

Do the ones at top even see?

The art of a brilliant city underneath the

Diamond sky!

When the sky is blue, I’ll look to these great rooftops and I’ll sing

Diamond sky!

When the sky is blue, I’ll look to these great rooftops and I’ll sing

I’d say their first mistake was failing to imprison me

They let me see just how beautiful it all could be

There’s something hidden here that’s waiting to come out and breathe

Will I see this while I’m here?

Will I see the sun come in and bring this home of mine to life

See the unending chrome plate curves all shine along like some great light up hive

Will I be here, will this be saved, when we’re all out of time

Or will the city die

This horrific maze of tyranny and menace but still

There’s a fervent beauty in all of this

Do the ones at top even see?

The art of a brilliant city underneath the

Diamond sky!

When the sky is blue, I’ll look to these great rooftops and I’ll sing

Diamond sky!

When the sky is blue, I’ll look to these great rooftops and I’ll sing
