Callin' "I"s

The downtown streets are alive <br />Like a colony or a hive <br />Of confused insects <br />Following their instincts <br />They don’t know why <br />But they try <br />Through the traffic signals <br />And social signals <br />To remember <br />What they might have known <br />Their minds are blown <br />So they just keep goin’ <br />Are they all alone <br />In their mental zones <br />Or is their some common ground <br />Amidst the sound? <br />The cacophony <br />Is only phony <br />It’s an aural screen <br />To block the screams <br />Within our minds <br />Saying “We’re entwined!” <br />The billboards too <br />Shout at you <br />Say “Me Me Me!” <br />But in reality <br />Who are you? <br />Who am I? <br />Deeper down <br />Beneath scowls and frowns <br />Beneath miles & miles <br />Of plastic smiles <br />We know the truth <br />That I am you <br />And you are I <br />And that is why <br />I call me I <br />You call you I <br />We’re the same I <br />Looking out through different eyes <br />And I has always been <br />From now and back to then <br />And up until the end <br />When it all begins again <br />And our task is to love each I <br />That hides behind these eyes <br />To love through the disguise <br />That’s the truth this city hides <br />The downtown streets are alive <br />We are all one deep inside
