You compromise with me because you know I'll still give in
The love we share's so beautiful but that's just where it ends
Lost in our translations with these signal fires of hope
We're planning out our future like the punchline to a joke
If we don't speak and learn to sweep our dirt under the rug
You're sure that we can fake it, looking down from up above
Comparing all their stupid moves to standards yet attained
It's less than we could hope for but still futile all the same
When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year
I'll hold your hand to keep it warm but never for control
Too many seek to get their way but I'll never be so bold
Passive like this sleepless night, I'll take in anything
Chasing it and chasing it until it forms a ring
When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year
I said that I'd get out of here, I told you that I'd leave
But all the doors are tightly locked and you've stolen all the keys
One that leads me back to light and one straight to my heart
I guess that I'll just pick the locks and leave this house of cards
But you never saw it coming from the start
When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
When you sleep is this the dream that's been imagined?
Or when you scream are these the words you've longed to hear?
All entrapment failed to work here as a magnet
But when you stop to take it in is there some fear?
Well just you wait another year
Just you wait another year, yeah just you wait another year
I'll pick these locks and run right out of here
