City Mouth Wicked Dreams
[Verse 1]
I was kissed by the Chicago skyline
But when I opened my eyes
I found I was standing alone in the city, just shy of confident
Naked and wasted in new skin of a limited body
But I soon found that even the streetlight hands were missing their fingers
So naturally I fit right in to the silent agreement
That told me that that's just how life is
[Chorus]
And all these wicked dreams
They're close enough to think of as reality
But that's alright with me
I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway
[Verse 2]
I was scared that you'd see right through me
I swallowed a cityscape whole
Now all of the things that leave my mouth are just vulgar projections
Of the buildings that made me feel so small
And I don't want you to see that
But in my anger I wrote it on all the walls
[Chorus]
And all these wicked dreams
They're close enough to think of as reality
But that's alright with me
I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway
[Bridge]
Till this pen explodes and brings me home
I'll write this burst heart out
But how will waking life compete?
I'll take the first flight out
[Chorus]
And all these wicked dreams
They're close enough to think of as reality
But that's alright with me
I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway
