I got the buildings consuming me
Does it look like I care?
Got me paranoid
I’m a weirdo
Condomania everywhere you need
We’re aloud to care less
Who’s gonna wash them away?
And clean up the crazy mess
Then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them
Identity you’re away from me
Your apartments the best
Yet you’re joined at the seams
Above and below your head
Conned out of your dough
Like fools in love
Although it could be said
The effects of the city
Are running into my head
And then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them
Convinced it’s something you need
As it fills the more it seems
Ya dreaming
It not so bad if you’re high
Above it all, who can deny
Ya dreaming
And then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them
