The City And The Lyrics

song lyrics 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 acure for what s sick 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. song lyrics
