Dotwork - Delta Sleep

Wide awake in bed at 4:16am

Trying to grab a hold of thoughts around her head

Constant existential questions have been keeping her from living free

Living through a screen for most part of the day

The City holds her dreams in all too many ways

Wondering what’s beyond The City’s endless limits.

No one knows Rumour has it

no one’s ever been

At times you realise this wasn’t how you wrote your life in classroom exposés

And looking at the sky should alleviate the worst in us, not keep it trapped

inside

Pack your things and leave

Head for the border, whatever is outside The City.

Please tell me these

buildings don’t go on forever

It’s for sure, whatever existence is out there can’t be any worse than this one

already is

Wait, I’ll follow but first I need the time to go find a place we see the

sunset and more than just three stars.

I know you’re down with that

There must be more to life than concrete walls, with endless corridors

So push aside your biggest regrets, to learn your mother tongue

We’ve still got time for that.

There must be more to life than concrete walls
