The downtown streets are alive Like a colony or a hive Of confused insects Following their instincts They don’t know why But they try Through the traffic signals And social signals To remember What they might have known Their minds are blown So they just keep goin’ Are they all alone In their mental zones Or is their some common ground Amidst the sound? The cacophony Is only phony It’s an aural screen To block the screams Within our minds Saying “We’re entwined!” The billboards too Shout at you Say “Me Me Me!” But in reality Who are you? Who am I? Deeper down Beneath scowls and frowns Beneath miles & miles Of plastic smiles We know the truth That I am you And you are I And that is why I call me I You call you I We’re the same I Looking out through different eyes And I has always been From now and back to then And up until the end When it all begins again And our task is to love each I That hides behind these eyes To love through the disguise That’s the truth this city hides The downtown streets are alive We are all one deep inside
