to the roof (the dream)

I’m not free in this madness, passing to my left and right
44 story tombstones, trying to guide the lives
Of the 9 to 5 money superstars
Whose rainy day will never come

Got to break free from this jungle, before I lose my mind
Smog and atittude taunt me, I’m just putting in time
To a cause that pays but doesn’t guide me
Stepping stone to a dream

[Chorus]
I climb to the roof, and to my peace of mind
The sound of wall street warriors pass, it’s my only sign
That in my visions are my reality
Just waiting for it’s time to come
Gotta break free

Back to the kitchen and the monologue they all talk but they never hear
Trapped in their misunderstandings, they’re so far but oh so near
All their faces are so familiar
That’s a sign it’s time to move on

Four in the morning cold walk home, soaked to the skin wondering why
The sleeping city behind me holds so few in privileged esteem
They have the freedom to do what they want to
So little so much stands in my way

[Chorus]
