Lyrics Storyteller - Such Gold

Storyteller

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
