In a city full of programmers

I’m troubleshooting my life

In a city full of coders

I’m trying to hold my poise

In a city full of hikers

I’m walking my own way

In a city full of rain

I’m looking for my own ray

In a city of washed up grungers

I’m calling out to my own spirit

In a city full of hip entrepreneurs

I’m defining my own kind of success

In a city full of grey

I’m breaking through my fray

In a city full of sleeplessness

I’ll weep for my startup dreams

In a city full of homeless in donated North Face

I’ll work my way of the bottom race

In a city full of fallen crane

I’ll find my own terrain 

In a city full of innovation

I’ll recompose my dead body
