one night in a city far away from home
i let myself get lost among the crowd
i had no destination in mind
and even if i did, i wouldn't be able to find it
one night in a city far from where i live
i decided i didn't belong anywhere
nothing truly belonged to me
except for the feelings these things carried
one night somewhere that wasn't my usual where
i found people who were also lost
and people who craved to be
just like me
and even if they're not lost
or can't get lost
it's nice to disconnect
and try
because for one night
the scenery is brand new
and while your feet are planted firmly on the concrete floor
and the clock in the center of the plaza ticks
the strings that tie you to your own
can't quite reach you here
and you're not lonely while you're alone
the buildings' architecture isn't as suffocating
and the strangers passing by will remain strangers
in a city far away from home
you're free to empty yourself
and fill yourself
make a mess out of your soul
and sort your mess out
and when you leave
reality will still be unscathed
and you can talk about the day as if it were a dream
so
one night in a city far away from home
i lost you there
emptied my feelings for you
filled myself with the sounds of different buskers and their melodies
made a mess of my memories
and sorted them out
because i know when i leave
home will be the same
and no one will know i unfurled in the middle of a busy street
while nameless faces might have been doing
just exactly that
