Lyrics

Surreal

You tell me "Come over and sit on there to read"
And say "I can wait"
But I'm so unstable and now we need to leave
Still holding this cage
'Cause I have dragged in corpses
Warmth on their lips
Evidence or lie
And now I find their voices hard to resist
People when they lie

They're still talking
And telling me I'm wrong
Like I don't
Read the signs
Some are beating drums
Staying low
Holding time

Show me something so real
Another lover I won't fight
In the night
In the night
Are you hopeless like me?
Then you noticed those fights
In the night
In the night

So why can't we never
Say the things we need
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
You have come
And you calmly placed your hands on my wrist
Dragged me in the light

Now I'm hoping
That I will be enough
To behold
For long time
And I would even trust
With control
Who relies

Show me something so real
Another lover I won't fight
In the night
In the night
Are you hopeless like me?
Then you noticed those fights
In the night
In the night
In the night

Beg for it,
Beg for it here
I'm nervous
That I'm insincere
Beg for it
Beg for it here

Show me something so real
Another lover I won't fight
In the night
In the night
Are you hopeless like me?
Then you noticed those fights
In the night
In the night

In the night
