The city is a beast
The city doesn’t care what we believe
It cannot comprehend that we exist
We long to be released
But always take the torment we receive
Expendable statistics on a list
The city is a sentence we survive
We fight
We bite
We somehow stay alive
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city is a lie
The city is the darkness we deserve
The screens on every surface feed us fear
It separates the sky
It soars without the comfort of a curve
Its lines define the ways we disappear
The city always kills what it creates
But in the dust a cold resistance waits
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city fears the night
The city isn’t certain what we are
We break the bleak machinery it needs
In silence
Out of sight
We cut
We crack
We sever and we scar
We infiltrate the files on which it feeds
We sabotage
We swarm
The city feels the fury of the storm
A monster
Built with brick and steel and stone
We fear it
But we fight with flesh and bone
The city cannot die
Its towers are the pieces of our pain
We strive to be a force to guide its fate
A city we were born to love forever
And to hate
