The City Sleeps

[Chorus: Sapient]
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line...

[Verse 1: Sapient]
I reach out and touch you from the vocal booth
You pay a large fee when your enlightenment is overdue
This is a substitute from your day to day living spree
Of sidewalks and traffic 'cause life stops for magic
Soundly, the city sleeps, where are the dreams?
I put sand in the machines, till my horizon is clean
I'm not observin' the patient
I want the servicе I'll be assertive and takе it while I'm burning your stages
Driftin away on my ocean of notebooks and paper cuts
Lazy shrugs, even when I scream nobody's wakin up
Morning will come, and you will understand my science
This is a life taking agency, you are the clients

[Chorus: Sapient]
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line...

[Verse 2: Ethic]
As the light of the moon starts writing a tune
I take a breath that accepts what I'm tryin to do
I'm just, eyin a view, and digestin the few
New thoughts this block has got for my crew
As the city gets sand trapped hands clapped
Will voices in the air echo around the map
From the void that is there when ya'll are takin a nap
This is a world that is rare and I'm tired of that
Yo I'm, wired and act like I acquired a knack
For livin life on the edge when I'd like to relax
I'm concise on the track as I tight walk the night starts
Sleep through the day and I'll rise when the light drops

Chorus (Sapient):
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line...

[Verse 3: Simple]
It's sun down a run down neighborhood is shut down
Sidewalks seem to envy nicer blocks uptown
And under bridges lot of people sleepin underrated
Lucky it's a summer night cause some are slumber stated
Wonder waits till all ones hope moves known to glow in the face
And folks are grace and grotesque toast to good taste
And flow both and food waste and chose not to look both ways
When walkin down the street where homeless people stayin at
And you ain't got change and you need to change your act
And you'd like to change lanes but they die to change your habitat
So before you complain about addresses you been payin at
Some are livin Murphy's law and you can bet they be obeyin that

[Bridge: Simple]
An empty man sittin in an empty park after dark
Empty can, empty hands, empty head, empty heart

[Chorus: Sapient]
The city sleeps and unconsciousness thrives
While the city sleeps my thoughts are alive
Underneath the city streets we wait to colonize
So fall in line (fall in line) fall in line...
