Surreal

You tell me, "Come over"

Then settle in to read

And say "It can wait"

But I'm so unstable

That I begin to leave

Still holding this cage

'Cause I have dragged in corpses, warmth on their lips

Evidence of life

And I have found their voices hard to resist

Even when they lie

They're still talkin'

They're tellin' me I run

Like I don't

Read the signs

Some beating drum

Stayin' low

Holdin' time

Show me something

Surreal

Your new lover

I'm on fire

In the night

In the night

Are you hopeless

Like me?

Then you'll notice

Those fires

In the night

In the night

So why can we never

Say the things we mean

Before it's too late?

I got some secrets

I intend to keep

Down to my grave

'Cause I have built a fortress, failures and bricks

Underneath the ice

And you have come and placed your hands on my wrist

Dragged me in the light

And now, I'm hopin'

That I will be enough

To behold

For all time

And I would even trust

With control

Who relies

Show me something

Surreal

Your new lover

Is on fire

In the night

In the night

Are you hopeless

Like me?

Then you'll notice

Those fires

In the night

In the night

In the night

Will you beg for her?

(Beg for her)

Beg for her

(Beg for her)

I'm nervous

(I'm nervous)

That I'm insincere

(I'm insincere)

Beg for her

(Beg for her)

Beg for her

Oh, oh

Show me something

Surreal

Your new lover

On fire

In the night

In the night

Are you hopeless

Like me?

Then you'll notice

Those fires

In the night

In the night

In the night
