Surreal - James Vincent McMorrow
Written by:James Vincent Mc Morrow
You tell me come over
Then settle there to read
And say it can wait
I'm so unstable
And I begin to leave
Still holding this cage
'Cause I have dragged in corpses
Warmth on their lips
As evidence of life
And I have found their
Voices hard to resist
Even when they lie
They're still talking
And telling me I run
Like I don't
Read the signs
Some are beating drums
Staying low but holding time
Show me something
Surreal
I'm your new lover
So 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've got some secrets
I intend to keep
Down to my grave
'Cause I've built a fortress
Failures and bricks
Underneath the ice
You have come
And placed your hand on my wrist
Dragged me in the light
Now I'm hoping
I will be enough
To behold
For a time
And I would even trust
With control
Who relies
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
Beg for it beg for it
Beg for it beg for it
I'm nervous I'm nervous
I'm insincere
I'm insincere
Beg for it beg for it
Beg for it
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
