lyrics

So, You want me to move, do you?
Just disappear,
go underground, take your despair.
Nah! I'll stay right here...

You don't know who I am
Watching me haunted,
shouting at ghosts invading my skin.
Look through my eyes.
See, mine are steep tunnels
that lead to deep puddles
And I have sleep troubles.
You don't have a clue.
I lay awake at the base of the
skyscraping tombs of Fifth Avenue.

Oh! City of dead dreams.
Yes, my dreams are dead.
Create and destroy,
I was created to be destroyed.
A man in a void.
Lost and unfound
Lying awake
on this burial ground.

You don't have a clue.
I lay awake at the base of the skyscraping
tombs of Fifth Avenue.

This city's paved over dreams.
Rubble and wreck.
Brick, mortar, and bomb.
Sift, siphon, embalm.
When the dust settles
Most of me is shot through
and gone.
I'm a slip of the tongue.
a rift in the world that you want.
The cackling cans on this myth-maker street
Do you want me to leave?
Ask your own body how I've become it's disease?

You don't know who I am,
or how I'm alive.
I talk to the dead
and they offer me life.
No, I won't leave!
Ask your own body how i've become it's disease?
You don't have a clue.
I lay awake at the base of the skyscraping tombs of Fifth Avenue.

Oh! City of dead dreams.
Yes, my dreams are dead.
Create and destroy,
I was created to be destroyed.
A man in a void.
Lost and unfound
Lying awake
on this burial ground.

So, You want me to move, do you?
Just disappear,
go underground, take your despair.
Nah! I'll stay right here...
