Seymouria
Seymouria was a reptile-like tetrapod from the early Permian of North America and Europe (approximately 280 to 270 million years ago). It was small, only 2 ft (60 cm) long. Seymouria was well adapted to life on land, with many reptilian features—so many, in fact, that it was first thought to be a primitive reptile.
Description
The dry climate of the Permian suited reptiles better than amphibians, but Seymouria had many reptilian features that helped it in this harsh environment. It had long and muscular legs, and may have had dry skin and the ability to conserve water. It may have been able to excrete excess salt from its blood through a gland in its nose, like modern reptiles . All of this meant that Seymouria, unlike amphibians and other early tetrapods, might have lived for extended periods of time away from water. If so, this would have allowed it to move about the landscape in search of insects, small amphibians, and other possible prey, such as the eggs of reptiles and synapsids.

City Lights
by: SmartCity lights in your eyes ‘til the morning rises
And swallows up your pride
Feel the alive, fell the fire this smoke is infectious
One dance left, pray you don’t get burnt
Sell your lies ‘til the nightmare defines you
And swallows up your life
To ignite to inspire, these foreign objectives
One more chance, pray you don’t get hurt
Oh my God we’re going down
City lights for a serenade
Shooting stars on your wedding day
Fall apart when I see your face
And run away, run away
Open eyes, fall apart when the morning rises
Lighting all your cracks
Take a call, someone old, when you coming home girl
One breath left, pray you make it last
Oh my God we’re going down
City lights for a serenade
Shooting stars on your wedding day
Fall apart when I see your face
And run away, run away
Go tell your lies
(go tell your lies)
I’m looking in your eyes
(in your eyes)
And I can see to my surprise, your light that used to
shine
Fades into City lights
(these city lights)
City lights for a serenade
Shooting stars on your wedding day
Fall apart when I see your face
