i was kissed by the chicago skyline but when i opened my eyes i found i was standing alone in the city just shy of confident naked and wasted in new skin of a limited body but i soon found that even the streetlight hands were missing their fingers so naturally i fit right in to the silent agreement that told me that that s just how life is and all these wicked dreams they re close enough to think of as reality but that s alright with me i ve never known the difference with much clarity anyway i was scared that you d see right through me i swallowed a cityscape whole now all of the things that leave my mouth are just vulgar projections of the buildings that made me feel so small and i don t want you to see that but in my anger i wrote it on all the walls and all these wicked dreams they re close enough to think of as reality but that s alright with me i ve never known the difference with much clarity anyway till this pen explodes and brings me home i ll write this burst heart out but how will waking life compete i ll take the first flight out and all these wicked dreams they re close enough to think of as reality but that s alright with me i ve never known the difference with much clarity anyway
