Storyteller - Such Gold

The midnight drunks go walking

Happy, looking sad and talking destiny

This is what the city pays for, I can see

The neon lights resist the fight

Against separation anxiety

This is what the city pays for, I can see

The dream they sell

I’m hooked, I’m overwhelmed again

And I wish that I could say the days alleviate

This artificial pain I never thought

That I’d be feeling at this age

But the drunks don’t go to sleep

They linger just like you and me

This is what the city pays for, what I need

What’s happened to me?

And then I have those dreams, too

The ones where I’m running around like a fool

To make things better for you

Like the good storyteller

You once knew me as

Try to hold it in my head

That no time has passed

Since I stood in circles

With automatic friends

Not worried that the means

Justified the end

'Cause life without love

Keeps my eyes wide

And my house stays clean

When I don’t let people inside
