Dream City

Verse 1
I had a dream,
You were my hit queen,
I called you majesty,
You were reaching out for me,
I threw open my arms,
To catch every ray of your charms,
And you gladly crowned me your king,
And we danced, and we danced endlessly.
Chorus
Dream City… so hazy when you’re numb,
Dream City… you’re a queen and I a crumb,
No new life awaits,
I don’t really want to wake … can’t wake… can’t wake… can’t wake!
Verse 2
My fences fell,
To a crumbling spell,
The tumbling effect,
I cannot stay erect,
The strobe-jams in my head,
They laugh and torture instead,
But you whisper “why don’t you come in”,
And I weaken and climb deeper within.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
Now I am awake,
Tethered to stake,
Your choke chain kills conceit,
Submission loves defeat
I really can’t tell you why,
You’re the queen I glorify,
I’m so glad you made me a king,
And we danced, and we danced endlessly.
Outro Chorus
Dream City… so hazy when you’re numb,
Dream City… you’re a queen and I a crumb,
Dream City… so hazy when you’re numb,
Dream City… you’re a queen and I a crumb
