lyrics

As the rain beats down upon the empty city sidewalks
I watch the dirt and garbage wash by like a tiny river of the used up.
There are still cars on the road, each one encasing a
single soul, destined for loneliness.

And I wonder how loneliness can exist in a city this dense.
Why do we work so hard on the things that make us miserable?
It’s isolation by design.
To be surrounded by water, but dying of thirst.

Is it this anonymity that attracts us to New York?
Sometimes it's nice to be anonymous, ignored, forgotten.
If only human connection was opt-in; turned on with the
flip of a switch and then off again when the words drift and the smiles lose their meanings.

Has it all lost its meaning?
Has it all lost its meaning?
