London, London, Londinium

Veni, vici et odi...

Hidden in a burrow
Like a rodent
Escaping from a predator
I shake and I shake
I hear all the noise
I look at my surroundings
I feel the most alone
I travel on the underground
Music is my savior, oblivion is my choice
Look up high
The oppression of the buildings
Lost in confusion
Amidst all sorts of people
I vanish into the crowd
But not finding my way
I dream of blue seas
I dream of blue skies
So much for a city
I know will never die
London, London, Londinium
I'm saying you "goodbye"
