The City Whispers versuri

The City Whispers lyrics by Jake Thistle

Here lies another night of laying with my back on the fire escape
When drawn through a stubborn sigh the city’s air always tastes like heartbreak
The evening’s losing light, sure as the bustle goes out of frame
The days go slowly by until you’re crying about how quick things change

And I’m trapped in the pictures I’ve taken of the scene
Calling out the flashes of these hollow dreams
But the city whispers
Louder than I can scream

The night starts to glitter in the places where the bars are open ‘til the end
The signs in the windows taunt the darkness like an old friend
The neon nervously flickers as if it don’t believe in what it says
I’m not much of a winner but at least I stand by what I meant

Trapped in the pictures I’ve taken of the
Scene
Calling out the flashes of these hollow dreams
But the city whispers
Louder than I can scream

I’m ready for summer, where the wind feels good again
‘Cause I’m barely tougher than the cold steel where l’m laying
I’m not always a bummer, but some nights you just gotta let it in
Trapped in the pictures I’ve taken of the scene
Calling out the flashes of these hollow dreams

Trapped in the pictures l’ve taken of the scene
Calling out the flashes of these hollow dreams
But the city whispers
Yeah the city whispers
Louder than I can scream
