Words fail to describe
This manic energy we feel
Stepping off of that bus
Enraptured by the gravity of Gotham
This is New York City
A mania-inducing metropolis
Its rhythm potent and virile
Its demons ghostly and feral
This feeling ecstatic and restless
This fervent euphoric dysturbia
I feel powerless to tame this energy
Burning with carnal cosmic intensity
Emotions tied to the moon
Tides pulling my heart
Amplifying our connection
Forging this fierce pride
I feel this magma of mania
Transforming us like a virus
Synchronized manic episodes
Like women on aligned menstrual cycles
These people walking
So fucking slow
My mind is racing
Synapses explode
Time is in flux
One minute feels like five
This city can’t keep pace
Our psychic powers thrive
Consuming the energy around me
Taking in radiant chaos
Mind reverberating with ideas
Creativity transpires
We pulsate with desire
This thirst for imagination
Our fervent inner fire
Our prophecy of liberation
We move through urban canyons
These towers of glass and stone
This island’s energy electric
Rivers of visceral joy overflow
We crave this mania
But know we need stability
Controlling these contradictions
Conquering their immensity
This scintillating soundtrack
Our arsenal of manic anthems
Pyramids by Frank Ocean
Lil Peep’s surviving playlist
Washington Square Park now
We write by shaded trees
Roots like our connection
Interwoven and free
Angel, you inspire and enliven me
Your trust so profound
I pass on this manic lineage
Lessons reimagined on sacred ground
David the phoenix
Tyler angel of goth
Two worlds collide
With journeys left unfinished
This is our testament
We inscribe ancient obelisks
Manic energy in balance
Amplifying all of this
We are sacred prophets
Our minds tell us so
Envisioning biblical creation
Transforming all we know
This angel phoenix prophecy
Transfiguring all we see
This fire consumes our spirits
Manic visions set us free
