Abraham Cloud - Reality lyrics

On the 15th floor, where the bosses cry for more and more delightful things to crawl across the floor. They have a word they use to justify every time they steal, cheat, or lie...REALITY, it seems is a fistful of broken dreams. You do what you have to do and not what you want to. I can't face REALITY. On the street below, there's some faces we all know. Homeless Joe and bob-the-boy-next-door. They sell directions to the houses of the stars. They live in boxes and cash their checks at bars. REALITY, it seems is a fistful of broken dreams. You do what you have to do and not what you want to. REALITY, my friend, that's what's left at the bitter end. A crumb from the cake carved in the face of disaster. I can't face..... REALITY. I was awoken by a scream the other night. They say she even tried to put up a fight. I rolled over and turned out the light on another life. I saw this child, an innocent child, standin' in the street screamin', "where's my mamma."
