Bedlight For Blueeyes - The City And The Ghost lyrics

Tonight I need the bright lights, still got her face on my mind Heading where the talk is cheap and I'm dressed to a "t" so they won't notice me It's warm for October and I've got the windows down The skyline whispers her promises, the same lie each night But I force myself to believe... And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me The city's a desert with photographic stars Each pretty face is just a mirage, and my mouth's full of sand again But I force myself to believe, across the river's a cure for what's sick inside of me And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me I look in the mirror past the buildings, the sky's getting light Another piece of my innocence is the admission I paid there tonight Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I imagine her saying "You're better than this... you're better than this." And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came here to escape is right here inside of me And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me And I swore it'd be different
