I was driving through Lemont, Illinois Oh, the dense forest path I was looking for a quiet place to rest my head amid the sound of the train We like to live in our suburban little houses and start the fireworks in June Oh there’s no place to go other than the coffee and supermarket runs with our friends We live southwest of the biggest city Holding on to things we hope to never leave behind Ghosts and this town well they often haunt me Looking for a place where I could be myself again In my backyard, looking at the evening stars Hair falls in the grass This is my home, but not for long I was biking near the I & M Canal Searching for a meaning Searching for an answer I don’t know why we sit in our old lawn chairs and watch the same cars pass again You want a peaceful place and not another field day change this is where you can be still We live southwest of the biggest city Holding on to things we hope to never leave behind Ghosts and this town well they often haunt me Looking for a place where I could be myself again In my backyard, looking at the evening stars Hair falls in the grass This is my home, but not for long

Chicago 01:57
Oh Chicago, bring me your light Shelter me with your shadows of the night Bring me all your heavy winds and breeze You would know what lights are blinding me I took a walk in my beloved dream

I would open up my bedroom window Peaceful silence with nothing left to say I feel a chill inside my bones Can’t hear a creak in my floorboards cause they’ll never know I’m over it Feeling restless going through the motions In a town of 20,000 and less Do you feel a shadow while they’re wearing masks? They all just live in fantasy Pure isolation keeping their dreams alive They’ve been here longer than me, how can they keep sleepwalking? It’s so suffocating, someone tell me why I’m over it Feeling restless going through the motions In a town of 20,000 and less Do you feel a shadow while they’re wearing masks? Welcome to suburbia

Kedzie 03:35
You say my heart is confused Running fingers through my hair Telling me I’m not ready to love you Fingertips tracing your grey t-shirt Stroking your faces as it fades Piercing my soul with your eyes Don’t say it was all a waste Like I was some empty space Keep dreaming I was in Kedzie, baby Hearing the tone of your voice inside my head Cologne stained sheets all on this bed Rearrange your heart inside out I wonder how you’ll remember me Had we really connected? Was it more than just a message? Like buttons start a frenzy Oh we’re just affected Words, pictures, phrases, forgetting humanity Don’t say it was all a waste Like I was some empty space Keep dreaming I was in Kedzie, baby
