Cyberspace

Cyberspace.

Insomnia guides me to the launchpad
Caught within the void, relinquished of my powers
I open up a window and I navigate.
When I take my voyage in the early hours.
I search for interaction to stimulate debate.

Search bar primed looking for direction.
Gazing at the screen to find the answers
Hoping I can calm my troubled soul
Tempted by the Chancers and the naked lady dancers..
Moving on to find a common goal

What will I discover in the twilight hours?
In what direction will my journey end?
Somewhere in the void there is someone just like me.
Looking for a lover or seeking out a friend.

They swim among the sharks and new connections
Delving into cyberspace lost within the eather.
Our paths may cross in opposite directions
Lighting up the beacon when infinity runs deeper.

Is there anybody out there in cyberspace?
Seeking out something more than lust
Floating, drifting, looking for that place.
Someone I can talk to.
Someone I can trust

And it feels like it’s all over bar the shouting.
High time we heard the lady sing her tune.
Tired of empty promises bored with ladies pouting
Got to get my remedy, gotta get it soon.

Purpose made to aid communication
Violated, subjugated, wondering what for?
The ability to speak to every nation.
Not even here in cyberspace can we avoid a war.

And It’s so lonely here in cyberspace.
Like midnight up on Mars or on the Moon.
I’m sending out a signal to somebody out there
Late night conversation, intellectual stimulation.
Better make it fast better make it soon,

I’m looking for remote communication
I’m here, I’m here I cry, hear me cry out loud.
I guess there’s no one willing to begin a conversation.
Lonely in the night yet lost within a crowd.

Insomniacs unite and hear my scream.
Aimless conversations written to a friend
Looking for the answers on a screen.
Relationship relinquished at the journey’s end.
Morning makes you take back what you gave
Searching out in cyberspace from launchpad to the grave.
