I looked around and there were people cheering. I listened closer, there were children crying. The horn blew and the barking started.

There was a burning in my throat. As if I couldn't swallow. The yelping grew louder, And the lights flickered.

The dust swarming in the air, It came so close to saving me, From the sight I was seeing, But then the lights flickered.

The light was reflected Off of the red, soaked coats I turned away and closed my eyes. I heard a yelp. And my eyes stayed shut.
